About Naples

During the Regional Chain Conference, leave time to explore Naples. Located in Southwest Florida, Naples is filled with vibrant natural beauty, diverse attractions, a wonderful array of shopping, restaurants, and fun recreational activities to keep you blissfully entertained. Take your adventure further — the majestic Everglades are just South of Naples.

Shopping
When visitors and residents alike want to find some of the best shopping Naples is renowned for, they discover The Village on Venetian Bay. And what a discovery it is! Instead of finding the same stores that are so often duplicated, The Village has assembled a collection of nearly 60 shops, galleries, and restaurants truly unique and special, all beautifully set right on the waterfront.

The Village was carefully designed to take full advantage of its beautiful waterfront location.

Continue your shopping experience among beautiful Banyan trees and colorful flowering plants, along Naples' Fifth Avenue South, a historic main street and a world class shopping destination in one. In addition to a large selection of shops and restaurants to satisfy everyone, Fifth Avenue boasts a year-round schedule of street art shows, sidewalk sales, special events and is home to the Sugden Community Theater.

Recreation
Southwest Florida is home to some of the finest outdoor recreation activities in the country and possibly even the world; which explains why it is the destination of choice for so many visitors from the US, Canada and over seas.

Golf
It has been said that the Naples area has more golf holes than any other place on the planet.

The amazing weather and sculpted landscapes make Southwest Florida a wonderful golfing destination. With numerous public and private golf courses, players can always find a challenge. Click for more info on Naples Golf Courses...

Boating and Water Sports
The Gulf of Mexico offers arguably the most favorable year round boating conditions in the US. Pleasant temperatures, balmy sea breezes and calm seas make Southwest Florida a boater's paradise. The Gulf of Mexico's glass-like water provides the perfect environment for all types of great water sports. From deep-sea ocean fishing to shallow water fishing among the mangroves, the wide variety of fishing is world famous which is why this area is home to so many fishing tournaments every year.
