5th Avenue is full of Italian restaurants, but La Trattoria is one of my absolute favorites! Besides the fantastic food, I love that La Trattoria is family friendly and open late - until 1 am!

Incredibly fresh seafood, phenominal French Mediterranean cuisine, and amazing cocktails! Sails is a bit pricey so I recommend it for those extra special occassion where you’ll want to impress. The service is impeccable and the staff is incredibly friendly. Sails is my #1 favorite restaurant in Naples :)

This place is a major local favorite. Really fresh seafood and side dishes that come in sizeable portions. The prices for lunch feel like a bargain to me so if you’re curious about trying USS Nemo, I’d definitely recommend going for lunch. You have to get the miso glazed Chilean Seabass.

[In the neighborhood] One of my absolute favorite places in Naples! Celebration park is an area by the water boasting various food trucks and a full service bar. They’ll sometimes have live music and dancing at night is pretty common. My favorite food is from the Greek truck and it’s their lamb platter - trust me I don’t like lamb but the way this guy marinates and minces it…pure deliciousness!!!

This beachfront restaurant is part of the Ritz Carlton and a great place to watch the sunset. Grab some coconut crusted shrimp or seared scallops and a few daquiri and I can guarantee you’ll have a great time. This spot gets very busy so if you want to have a table for the sunset, I’d recommend going earlier.

If you enjoy Persian food you will LOVE Bha Bha. Even if you don’t think you like Persian food or have never had Persian food, I’d still 100% recommend this place. Great meat dishes - from chicken, to beef, to lamb - that are expertly seasoned and cooked. Virtually all of their appetizers are delicious - you really can’t go wrong!

Delicious spot on 3rd Ave for upscale brunch and an elevated experience. Always request to be seated in their outside patio full of beautiful flowers and fountains. If you’re feeling bougie, I’d go with their lobster omelet :) Though you really can’t go wrong with anything you order at Jane’s!

Awesome spot especially for big groups or travellers with kids. There are two volleyball courts, a bunch of gazebos great for a picnic, a fun playground, and a huge grassy area. There are a number of free tikki hut umbrellas on the beach that are first come first serve (recommend going early to claim these!) There’s a shack wher you can grab food and drinks, and kayak and paddleboard rentals are available.

After you’re done strolling on 5th Ave, drive a few more blocks west to get to this great beach! Enjoy the white sand and calm blue waters - you’re sure to spot a group of dolphins that aren’t afraid to get close to the shore!

Lovely beach in North Naples. Getting to this beach involves a lovely half a mile stroll through a boardwalk that goes through the marsh. there are golf carts that shuttle hotel residents theough the boardwalk and offer this as a complimentary service to other beach goers as well. Once you’re on the beach you can rent umbrellas and beach chairs, as well as enjoy some great food from the cafe run by the hotel. You’re able to rent jet skis, paddle boards, and kayaks but they’ll be pricier than what you can find at Lowdermilk Park Beach.
