Well of course you must check out the historic Naples Pier. Make sure you stay for the sunset and bring your camera. Check out parking rules before you go. Please note that the pier was damaged during the 2022 hurricane and is currently not accessible, however sunset from almost anywhere on the beaches is still a treat.

This is actually a grocery store, but they have restaurants and bars right inside. It is a bit of a drive, but it is half way between the airport and our home, so if you come in during the day it is right on the way. They have a good selection of ready to heat food, but Bernie likes that you can have a beer while you shop. Not the cheapest place to shop but it is fun.

Sightseeing
If your guy or gal is a motor head you have to stop here. One of the best car museums I've seen. You will need to get tickets ahead of time as they control the number of people going through. There are hard core motor heads that will give you as much background as you can absorb on all the vehicles, or they will just let you walk through unmolested, it is your choice. This is a must if you are a Porsche person. They have some of the most iconic Porsche race cars in the world. They take these cars out to race them all the time, so these are not just trailer queens. Warning, real car people could spend all day here, so plan accordingly.

Interested in seeing how the Ultra-rich live? You may want to drive or bike down Gulf Shores Drive along the Gulf past the Naples Pier and into Port Royal. You will meander through neighborhoods of the rich and famous. There are amazing homes and landscapes to be seen.
