Naples is a great place for the whole family. Whether you're a full-time resident or just visiting, our beautiful parks are a perfect place to catch some rest in between shopping sprees, meet up with old friends, or just sit back and enjoy the sunshine. While you're out exploring Fifth Avenue South, take a detour to Cambier Park. Located next to the Von Liebig Art Center, Cambier Park has a little bit of everything. Enjoy a picnic lunch under the gazebo, play with your kids on the playground, or enjoy a musical performance at the bandshell. If you need a break from the hot sun, take a walk through the recently renovated Cambier Park Community Center. Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve are two of our most famous, but we also have many state, local and private parks and preserves perfect for viewing birds and other wildlife, and enjoying outstanding outdoor recreation including nature photography, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, boating and more.

The only subtropical preserve in America, Everglades National Park spans across the southern tip of the state.
It contains both tropical and temperate species, as well as vast prairies, swamplands, and estuaries. The park is also home to many different bird species, and the only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles cohabitate.
Everglades National Park has been designated a World Heritage Site, an International Biosphere Reserve, and a Wetland of International Importance. |

Experience the natural beauty and wildlife of the Everglades, as well as a forest of tropical trees at Collier-Seminole State Park.
The 7,271-acre park lies partly within the great mangrove swamp of southern Florida, one of the largest mangrove swamps in the world. Collier-Seminole also contains one of the three original stands of the rare royal palm in Florida.
The park is the site of a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark, the last existing Bay City Walking Dredge. Built in 1924, it was used to build the Tamiami Trail Highway (U.S. 41) through the Everglades and Big Cypress Swamp, linking Tampa and Miami and opening southwest Florida to travelers.
Visitors to Collier-Seminole have the opportunity to explore the park’s wilderness in many ways, including hiking, bicycling or canoeing. Collier-Seminole provides canoe rentals, as well as a boat ramp with access to the Blackwater River, where anglers can fish for both saltwater and freshwater fishing.
Collier-Seminole offers full-facility, primitive and youth camping. The picnic areas have pavilions and grills for use on a first-come-first-served basis. |

One of the most popular seaside destinations in Naples, the mile-long stretch of white sugar sand at Delnor-Wiggins has been rated one of the best beaches in the nation.
The 166-acre park is a tropical paradise for beach lovers, boaters and divers. The beach is a popular spot to sunbathe, swim, beachcomb, snorkel and picnic.
At the beach along Wiggins Pass, where swimming is not allowed, fishing is a popular activity. Boaters can launch their vessels into Water Turkey Bay and travel to the Gulf or up the Cocohatchee River for both saltwater and freshwater fishing.
Kayakers can enjoy paddling through estuaries and scuba divers can explore the hard bottom reef in the Gulf.
At the north end of the island, a tower gives visitors a bird's-eye view of Wiggins Pass and the surrounding coastal habitat. |

Fakahatchee Strand State Park is home to a number rare and endangered native Florida species, including black bears, Eastern indigo snakes, diamondback terrapins, and the infamous Florida panther.
The park measures approximately twenty miles long and five miles wide. The park is also home to the Prairie Canal, an important source of fresh water for the wildlife and humans who live in the area, as well as the Ten Thousand Islands on the western seashore.
Here you can see for yourself why it's referred to as the "Amazon of North America" as you walk along its 2,000 foot boardwalk. Or maybe even take a guided swamp tour with a Park Ranger.
This vital ecosystem shouldn't be missed! |
