Much of Naples' activities are naturally centered on the water, with year-round sailing, boating, jetskiing and windsurfing. Fishing for grouper, pompano, cobia and sea trout never ceases either, but in the spring and early summer, tarpon becomes the big catch.

Naples' largest fishing fleet moors at the City Dock at Crayton Cove, where you can charter a boat or rent one for yourself for deep-sea fishing and shelling excursions to one of the islands. Tin City, Olde Naples Seaport and Naples Marina will also set you up for a day on the water. Or simply cast your line over the newly remodeled Pier in the company of other fishing enthusiasts. You will find some very unusual competition along the 1,000 ft. boardwalk!

There's no appetizer like fresh air, so after a relaxing day at the beach or an invigorating round of golf or tennis, you may well be looking around for somewhere to eat. Naples will not disappoint in this respect either. Whatever your preference - casual or formal, surf or turf - the right restaurant exists for you. The tropical climate is conducive to relaxed dining and what better place to enjoy fresh, local seafood than on the waterfront?

Try the Cloydes or M Waterfront Grille or any of the fabulous restaurants at Venetian Village for a casual meal or just a refreshing cocktail. Purchase a CLUB NAPLES membership and enjoy discounts and many of Naples fine restaurants. Chops City Grill, Yabba Island Grill and Pazzo! Italian Cafe are some of Naples best restaurants!

Something traditional? St. George & the Dragon prepares succulent steak and prime rib, and Baleen at the LaPlaya Resort presents the best in sumptuous hotel dining. Something continental? You will find everything from fine French Floridian cuisine at the Au Paradis to wood fired pizzas at Carrabbas. Options also include Cuban, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Thai ... and "Floribbean"! Sample this new combination, named for its spicy and colorful Caribbean influence, at the Mangrove Cafe & Diva Martini Bar on Fifth Avenue.

An abundance of sidewalk cafes, chic bistros and gourmet delis serve up lunch, snacks and pastries. And don't forget afternoon tea at the Ritz Carlton, an elegant, piano-serenaded treat offered only in season.



What ever your mood, Naples can provide a wonderful place to enjoy life the way it was meant to be....
