Naples

Naples, Florida, named after the coastal Italian city, is known for its laid-back ambiance, quiet luxury, and world-class golf. Though Florida's version lacks the history, sights, and artwork of its namesake, its opulence is reminiscent of European watering holes along the Mediterranean. Instead of archaeological treasures and divine Italian cuisine, those who retreat from the shore will find high-end restaurants and first-class hotels.

America's Napoli is one of the most relaxing and romantic beach destinations in the United States, with gently lapping waves on the white-sand beaches of southern Florida's Gulf Coast. However, partygoers and young families will likely seek out another beach because Naples lacks the distractions they seek. Relaxation is the name of the game here, so leave the kids at home or the keg at the frat house, grab your special someone, and head down to Florida's city of love.
