Sunny Naples Makes For a Relaxing Beach Getaway

Girlfriend Getaway GuideGirlfriend Getaway GuideBy Casey Wohl

My cousin Kelly lives in Portland, OR, so when she comes home to Florida, we make sure her visit is memorable. Kelly loves the beach, so we planned a Girls Getaway to Naples while she was recently in town.

Naples is a popular and charming beach destination on Florida's west coast along the Gulf of Mexico. It boasts world-class hotels and resorts along miles of white sand beaches. Wonderful shopping opportunities exist here for antiques, home furnishings, clothes and jewelry. With its beautiful neighborhoods and grand architecture, the atmosphere is elegant, yet relaxing.

Sports enthusiasts spend glorious days pursuing their favorite activity, from golf to tennis to fishing. There are restaurants to suit every taste and budget. Even though it's a busy and cosmopolitan city, Naples offers easy access to secluded islands and the wilderness of the Everglades.

  • Ritz Carlton Naples: You can't go wrong with a stay at the Ritz. Everything is first class and we were upgraded to an ocean view room once we arrived. The staff is extremely accommodating and friendly. The room was fantastic, and the pool and beach areas were impeccable. We enjoyed lunch by the pool, along with refreshments.
  • Zoe's: Located on the popular 5th Avenue, we dined at Zoe's and were very impressed by the extraordinary wine list. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a sampling of appetizers and great wine and martinis recommended by the bartender.
  • Fifth Avenue South: Visit the vast array of shops, galleries, restaurants, and sidewalk cafes along the promenades in this historic setting. Fifth Avenue is a unique place where visitors can surround themselves with small-town friendliness and historical landmarks, as well as a flavor and sophistication that is truly Naples.

And yes, we adore the Bay of Fundy :-) While I'll agree it's no longer parka weather in your neck of the woods, it's not quite string bikini weather either. Shall we toast to it and let the beer warm us up? Happy St Paddy's Day! Julia"

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Terri said "hey Travel girls, great to hear that you love our Bay of Fundy here on the east coast of Canada as much as you love Tim Horton's ...and, as a Bay of Fundy chick, I love the green tide analogy. For sure, there will be lots of fun times down here around St Paddy's day but I just want to send you a correction to say you certainly won't be needing a parka? to visit at this time of year. It's +8 to +10 degress Celius (that's in the 50s F for our American friends) - definitely well above parka weather. haha So nice that the birds are chirping and the maple sap is flying out of the trees and, ultimately, on to our pancakes. Happy spring! Terri the Bay of Fundy blogger bayoffundy.blogspot.com "

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Sad and heavy heart said "On a note about the roads of Totrola which are steep, and windy and narrow, all the more reason that tour vehicles should have regular safety checks, SEATBELTS (which dirvers should mandate use or not allow passengers to continue with the tour, driver's should go slow, and Princess Cruise Lines should do extensive background checks, and not hire people with the nick-name of Crash-Dummy."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Jan said "We were also on the ship with our friends, had spent the day at the beach in Tortola where the slider on my Omega came off, "broke" and lost. I had just purchased it on board the ship the day prior. But nothing can compare to the loss of a family member. The Captain had everyones attention for the announcement. Captain Draper done a great job informing the passengers of the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rumphrey family."
