Having lived in Naples for just over twelve years, and loved every minute, I wanted to share my experiences of the places, the people, the culture and just the general way of life.

What I will endeavor to do is to provide you witha mixture of useful information and tips that will ensure that your visit to Naples, this most beautiful part of Southwest Florida provides you with long lasting and vivid memories for many years to come.

The people in this part of Florida which in itself is known as"The Paradise Coast", are without doubt the friendliest and outgoing you will meet anywhere within Southwest Florida. Their makeup is a mixture of old and young, rich and poor, from many nationalities which appears to have created almost the most perfectly balanced,honest and friendly people I think I have EVER met !!

NaplesNewsletter- will keep you informed of current events, unique places like"TheMeracto"recently opened (some say the new "South Beach"of Naples and serious contender to 5th Avenue South and 3rd Street South combined) and subject of interest to visitors and locals alike. I update Naples-Marco-Island-Florida.com frequently, so please subscribe to my monthly newsletter. It tells you each month about the new information that I have added.

Naples is a extraordinary city with Southern Charm and Grace endowed with 17 miles of sugar sand beaches, tropical Gulf waters with a Caribbean climate. Hi-End living at its best with. Marco Island and the Everglades to the south and Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel-Captiva to the NorthExplore naples-marco-island-florida.com and you will find pictures of my experience living in and around Southwest Florida.

Beaches are our number one attraction. We're surrounded by 17 miles of shoreline Add to this tidal creeks, mangrove swamps,nature trails, butterfly gardens, the 10,000 islands and the Everglades.

World Class Shopping, fine dining, great entertainment and golf. Some say that we are the "Golf Capital of the World", withmore holes than anyone else. That's a lot of holes??? It does sound crazy but it's true. How can one city have 120 + golf courses? That's ridiculousness. Isn't it?

Where do the locals go? To talk withfriends, To have the best burger around, to watch the game? It's the last Tiki Hut Café in Naples where no one's a stranger and everyone knows your name sooner than later.

Nightlife café’s,Who has the best bar food? Pelican Larry’s, perhaps Noodles, or theMillers Ale House. Who has the best happy hours? Bar none no punintended, the top of the heap are Sam Sneads and Stonewood.

PIZZA anyone? I don’t know about youbut eating good pizza is vital for my well-being. I have searched highand low looking for great pizza and have found only a few who know howto make great NY style thin crust and Greek style pizza.

In addition I’ve discovered several small ItalianRistorante & Pizzeria owned by local Italian families (from NYand New Jersey) that served authentic and delicious Italian comfortfoods and pizza pies worth checking out.

Check out Joey D’s, Aldo’s, Peppinos, Giovanni’sand a new addition called "Mangino's Pizzeria'. You won't bedisappointed.

Dress casual but cool at the Naples Beach Hoteland Golf Club every Sunday just before sunset at"Sunset Beach Concerts" Join locals,families, lovers and people who enjoy people to soak up the sunset,listen to a live rock & roll band and dance the night away.
