Naples, Florida - The Best Sand-Box On The Gulf Of Mexico

By Deb Schwabe

Vacationers love beach vacations and in south-west Florida you will find Naples, a gorgeous beach. This city is regarded as the jewel in the crown of the Florida coastline. For all year round fun in the sun, golfing, first class shopping, fine dining and adventure, Naples cannot be beaten by the best of playgrounds.

Good weather all year round helps, and with this city it's situated on the Gulf of Mexico which helps with great weather. This sand-box is one of the best in the US. It is comprised of calm, warm waters, adventure, fun, excitement and every other ingredient which makes for a fun in the sun vacation. It is very close to the Florida Everglades, and true adventure.

The Everglades are wild, exciting and can add some much needed adventure to your beach holiday. While it is great to relax, eat well and play in the beach if you are on a sea-shore holiday, if there something special and extra on offer, this should also be taken advantage of. And take advantage of it you can with a visit to this unique area. You may see the panther, bison, alligator and many different species of bird.

There are over 10,000 uninhabited islands in the Everglades which is a tropical paradise composed of varied ecosystems. Exploring these by kayak and canoe means floating through tunnels of mangrove and over prairies composed of saw-grass. If you are a lucky adventurer you might just meet up with a local school of friendly dolphins or manatees, and perhaps even come eye-to eye with the much maligned and sinister alligator. This kind of adventure will make for some unforgettable memories.

The Naples Zoo in the Caribbean Gardens is for those of you who like their animal life a little more under control. Although you can still float through island s full of cavorting monkeys and enjoy the thrill of the panther glade, tiger forest and African oasis. This zoological facility is accredited nationally, and is two worlds in one, both a zoological and botanical garden.

Naples has a host of water-spots available, not least of which is the fishing. If you are an enthusiastic angler, you are able to come into contact with both inland and off-shore fishing, and there are a wide variety game fish to catch.

One of the most special experiences you could possibly have in Naples is paying a visit to the gentle manatee. Make sure you find yourself a guide who knows where to find these sweet aquatic mammals and most guides don't expect you to pay for your trip if you don't see one.
