NAPLES
A perfect blend of nature and glamour is
yours to be explored in this coastal gem on
Florida's southwestern shore. Here you will
find award-winning, white-sand beaches,
famed golf courses and peaceful preserves
alongside the very finest in shopping,
dining and entertainment. While sporting
an unmistakably small-town vibe, Naples is
simply bursting with cosmopolitan appeal.
AREA HIGHLIGHT: A local historic landmark,
the Naples Pier provides the optimal
spot to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets that
demonstrate how Florida's Paradise Coast
earned its name.
IMMOKALEE
The rural feel of this singular community is
rooted as much in the quiet beauty of the
landscape as it is in the fresh abundance
of its produce markets. Boasting flora that
ranges from towering oaks to the bulrush of
Lake Trafford, it's clear that taking a deep
breath and appreciating Mother Nature
is at the top of your must-do list when in
Immokalee.
AREA HIGHLIGHT: Situated on 13 acres
of Florida wilderness on the edge of the
Big Cypress Swamp, the Pioneer Museum
at Roberts Ranch is listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. Fascinating
exhibits share the story of the early settlers
who tamed this lovely land.
AVE MARIA
While the heart of this planned college town
is the campus of Ave Maria University and
the impressive Wright-inspired oratory, it is
also home to a quaint downtown area and
miles of nature trails to explore. Serene and
family-friendly, the community of Ave Maria
has grown by leaps and bounds since it was
first established in 2007.
AREA HIGHLIGHT: The preserved terrain
in this part of Southwest Florida can be
more fully appreciated with the guidance
of Orange Jeep Tours, who thrill visitors
with an up-close view of native wildlife like
American alligators and rare bird species.
