Olde Naples is the original "Hot Spot" of Naples: Known for its fine dining, shopping, arts and theatre, white sandy beaches, boating and fishing, parks, and eventful nightlife.
Beaches
There are 24 public beach access points in Olde Naples. Every Avenue (east-west) will take you right to the beach. You can easily walk to the beach from your Olde Naples home, but bike racks and vehicle parking are available at the end of all these avenues. (And in the neighborhoods to the north, Coquina Sands, Moorings, Park Shore, Pelican Bay, and Vanderbilt Beach, as well as the neighborhoods to the south Aqualane Shores and Port Royal, there are other beach access points, most notably as beach parks.)
The most popular landmark on the beach is the Naples Pier located at the end of 12th Avenue south. Originally built in 1888, the Naples Pier is a great fishing and tourist location, having public restrooms and even a concession stand half way out. The beaches and pier are a great place to enjoy the sun during the day and to watch our amazing sunsets at night. And a great place to watch fireworks on the 4th of July!
Dining
Olde Naples is home to both 5th Avenue South and Third Street South. Both strips are known for their cafes, ice cream and coffee shops, and their fine dining. All within walking distance of an Olde Naples residence.
