For the cultured adult, Naples natives will suggest the Baker Museum, a treasure trove of 20th-century modern and contemporary art. For the kid in you, head to the Golisano Children's Museum of Naples. It was designed by kids and kid experts, and is dedicated to learning through play, including a life-like Everglades exhibit with banyan trees and a mangrove maze. For all ages and all tastes, the Naples Botanical Gardens are at your service. There's a treehouse and a butterfly sanctuary for the little ones, and 2.5 miles of trails through exquisite gardens for the rest of us.
If you're willing to embrace the true essence of the city, head from your Naples vacation rental to the beach and promptly stop worrying. Sure, there's plenty to do. Stroll down 5th Avenue and peruse the shops, head to a private course for a round of golf, sail away on a dolphin-watching cruise or a boat tour around Naples Bay. Feeling sporty? Rent a jet ski or take a scuba diving lesson. Just remember your mission: to chill. A day spent lying under your beach umbrella is a perfectly respectable day in Naples.
Naples' tropical weather and silky soft sand dunes draw visitors year-round, but peak months are between December and February, when average temps are in the 70s and sunny skies are common. Things warm up in spring as prices drop. Naples doesn't attract much of a spring break crowd, so if you'd prefer the quiet and a cheaper Naples vacation rental, look to book then. Summer is steamy and comes with temps in the 90s, rain storms in the afternoons, and an influx of vacationing families. Bring sunscreen and a rain slicker and you'll be covered.
The most obvious places to commune with nature in Naples have to do with the beach. Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, Clam Pass Beach Park, Tigertail Beach, and Barefoot Beach are all great places to spot wildlife in a maritime environment. Gopher tortoises build their burrows in the sand and are protected during nesting season, from May to October. Shorebirds feed at the water's edge, and seashell collectors are in heaven. Watch out for sting rays in summer, and enjoy gazing at the fish swirling in tidal pools. Rangers provide nature tours at Delnor-Wiggins and Barefoot Beach.
Naples boasts long stretches of white sand near the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico, perfect for a day of swimming or sunbathing. Vacation homes can be found near spots like Naples Beach, a white-sand beach with a serene atmosphere and fishing pier, and Lowdermilk Park, a scenic beach with concession stands, volleyball courts, and a gazebo. Sugden Regional Park, a lake site with a sandy beach, paddleboats, walking paths, and picnic areas, is also a great place to spend the day.
