I was born and raised in Naples and I absolutely adore it and miss it, can’t wait to move back some day!! I grew up in SE Naples (Lely) and was at the pier and 13th Ave beach weekly, would park in the parking garage. Always had a beach chair in my trunk. Worked at Yabbas, Tommy Bahamas and Blu Sushi when I was in high school. So many dates on the pier. So many great memories. A real privilege to have been raised there. It’s grown so much more since I left in 2013, too! Wow!! Will be back some day ♥️♥️🏖🏝🌊
It's nice to see there are things to do in Naples because my friend live out there and the way she described Naples was old retirement community and boring, lol. So, at least when I go visit I'll make my time way better.
She must be a native. It used to be exactly that! But it’s grown so much over the last 20 years. I grew up there. Imagine Miami but super upscale and ritzy, clean, symmetrical. It’s paradise. I will move back some day! ♥️
Forgot one more really important place - Seed to Table ( you will be amazed! Not your typical grocery store and you will see what I mean when you go!) - they valet park your car if you want! Very fun place to hang out a lot of live music!
Loved this video!! I’m a beachaholic 💦 just found you and subscribed ! I’ve been to Naples once and it was stunning. Upscale and really beautiful. The pier is cool. Hope to return and do everything I missed the first time. Thanks for all the great tips .
Brava in Mercato is a spot my family always goes to when we get together down there. Food is wonderful and they remember the year-rounders during season.
So many things you didn't have time for. Naples Trolley is very cool, gives the history of Baron Collier and how he built Naples. Naples Princess for sunset cruise is not to be missed either. %th Avenue is stunning. Enjoy next time your here.
about Marco Island - when I lived in Naples, we could drive our car out onto the deserted beach....we were the only living souls there....1956-58. Sad to see all the growth.
