Enjoy a day in the Florida sun as you relax at Vanderbilt Beach, or enjoy a day of shopping-‘til-you drop along 5th Ave.  5th Ave is known as the “Main Street” of downtown Naples and is bulging with a mix of stores that has something to tickle everyone’s fancy.  Pick up a knickknack at Best of Everything. The Best of Everything stores are said to be the most unique retail accessory stores in the world! Customer enthusiasm and repeat business are second to none. Just walking in the stores, you see customers with their "velvet shopping carts" (trays) dancing to the music as they enjoy shopping.  The assortment of sterling silver and fabulous fashion jewelry is wide and deep. Handbags, scarves, hair accessories, sunglasses, gifts, and plush toys are adequately presented in this extraordinarily amazing store.

Tin City Waterfront Marketplace in historic downtown Naples is the original shopping sensation and home to three unique buildings with a waterfront boardwalk bustling with activity, more than 30 charming boutiques, waterfront restaurants, and an assortment of water adventures including daily sightseeing cruises, fishing charters, jet boat thrill rides and more!

After a day of self-pampering, indulge in some dining at Bambusa’s Bar & Grill, the designated LGBTQ+ hot spot in Naples. It’s the obvious choice in town to see drag shows, connect with LGBTQ+ locals, and enjoy a mix of entertainment and events, but this isn’t your typical gay bar with subpar bar food. The Bambusa menu alone is worth the visit.

So, what are you waiting for?  Your next great getaway to Naples & the Paradise Coast is calling. Can you hear it?
