where to eat
Great mussels, service, and interior design work.
The French Brasserie Rustique | Naples, Fl
I haven't tried this place, but I came across it on TikTok and it looks super cute!
LAVENDER Cafe & Bistro - Naples, FL on OpenTable
Love visiting this bistro/cafe everytime I am in Naples. The outdoor seating is the best - it has a very neighborly feeling while meeting a modern aesthetic.
The Lake Park Diner | Diner With A Conscience | Naples, FL
shopping
A great shop to grab gifts for anyone back home as well as yourself!!
Natural Soaps, Lotions & Shampoos | Naples Soap
When I go to Naples, I thrift. This is one of my spots.
Twice As Nice Consignment Shop - Naples, FL
This is another great thrift. They normally have a sale and their shop is merchandised beautifully and thoughtfully.
Nearly New Thrift & Consign - Naples, FL
activities
This was the best impromptu activity to go shelling on Keywaydin and catch dolphins playing in the bay.
Dolphin Watch/Eco Shelling Tours | Pure Florida
Next time I am in Naples, I definitely want to take a long walk here, then go have a nice lunch somewhere.
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary
To be honest, I have yet to visit a beach in Naples, but this one is first on my list.
Clam Pass Park
This museum has some great exhibitions going on now: Tamara de Lempicka from October 25, 2025 – February 8, 2026; Magritte: Reflections of Another World which is ongoing; and Louise Nevelson reopening October 18.
Exhibitions / The Baker Museum / Artis—Naples
A nice option if you want to change up plans to visit 5th Ave South!
