Retire to Florida's Paradise Coast in Naples

With its fantastic tropical climate, over 30 miles of white sandy beaches, and endless activities, it's no wonder Naples was named one of the "100 Best Places to Retire" by Where to Retire magazine. Let's explore some of the top reasons retirees are flocking to this breathtaking stretch of Florida.

Great Weather and Beautiful Beaches

Located along the warm waters of the Gulf Coast, Naples boasts some of the best beaches in the world, enjoying an average of 300 days of sunshine. Unlike many Florida communities, the beaches and beach access are free to the public, providing easy access to paradise.

Popular spots like Barefoot Beach Preserve and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park are perfect for watching sunsets, swimming, kayaking, boating, fishing, and other water sports. With an average temperature of 77 degrees, the beautiful weather invites you outdoors year-round.

Don't forget to venture about 45 miles north to the famous shelling islands of Sanibel and Captiva for an unforgettable experience!

Sensational Shopping

From charming boutiques to antique shops, Naples offers an array of shopping options. In the downtown area, you can explore popular hotspots like Fifth Avenue South and Third Street, featuring clothing shops, jewelry stores, and outdoor cafes—all within walking distance of the beach.

For an upscale shopping experience, Waterside Shops is the place to be. Here, you'll find high-end retailers such as Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Tiffany & Co., and Williams Sonoma.

Good Eats and Fine Dining

Craving something delicious? Naples has you covered. From casual comfort food to five-star dining, the culinary scene is thriving. Some of the area's top restaurants include:

  • USS Nemo
  • EJ's Bayfront Café
  • Campiello Ristorante & Bar
  • Bha! Bha! Persian Bistro
  • Pinchers
  • Riverwalk

Golfing Galore

Known as the "Golf Capital of the World," Naples boasts more golf courses per capita than anywhere else globally! Legends like Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer have left their mark here, creating some of the best golf courses in Florida. Don't miss these popular favorites:

  • Old Corkscrew Golf Club
  • Tiburon Golf Club
  • Eagle Lakes Golf Club
  • Arrowhead Golf Club

In addition to its stunning natural beauty and recreational opportunities, Naples also features a low crime rate, access to award-winning medical care, and low property taxes.

Sun Outdoors offers two outstanding RV Communities at Marco Naples and Lake San Marino, catering specifically to the active 55+ crowd. Discover for yourself all the reasons why Naples is the perfect place for retirement!
