Tip: Sunset is prime time — bring your camera for those iconic shots.
Third Street South
Just a few blocks from the beach, Third Street South blends old Naples charm with upscale boutiques, art galleries, and award-winning restaurants. Lush courtyards, tropical blooms, and the historic Naples Pier just steps away make it a must-visit.
