Naples is named after the famous Naples, Italy because of its beautiful bay. It is most widely known for its sugar-sand beaches and warm winter weather. Naples has always been a refuge for North-Eastern and Mid-Western snowbirds but Naples is now drawing a younger, more dynamic crowd attracted to outdoorsy pursuits off the course, high-end shopping and late-night noshing, all in a laid-back, upscale setting with enough cultural interest to support more than 130 art galleries and a symphony orchestra. Downtown Naples’ Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South shopping districts are renowned for their unique boutiques offering fashion, gifts and fine art.
