A person kayaking through mangroves, one of the unique things to do in Naples, Florida.Whether your upcoming Naples vacation is a long weekend, a week, or longer, one thing you never have to worry about is becoming bored. The popular Florida town is filled with an almost endless array of activities and attractions to enjoy. While there are certainly some must-try adventures, there’s also plenty to do that’s off the beaten path. During your next getaway with Phase III Real Estate Services, check out some of the unique things to do in Naples near your Florida rental.

6 Off-the-Beaten Path Naples Area Activities

In between going to the beach, shopping, and golfing, leave some room in your itinerary to enjoy the hidden side of Naples.

  1. Skip the main paths that make up the Naples Preserve and explore its backroads by bike. The quiet residential streets near Port Royal and Old Naples feature hidden waterfront views and historic homes you won’t see by car.
  2. Go kayaking at sunrise. Launch early in sports like Rookery Bay or the Gordon River to explore mangroves before these waterways get busier later in the day.
  3. Visit a neighborhood farmers market. In addition to the popular ones, smaller weekly markets in residential areas are the perfect place to grab local honey, baked goods, and more.
  4. Explore the Gordon River Greeway art installations. Beyond the walking trails, these subtle art pieces are tucked along the greenway and can be missed if you’re not paying attention.
  5. Take a nighttime nature walk. Some local preserves and guided groups like Rookery Bay Research Reserve offer evening walks where you can spot nocturnal wildlife. 
  6. Watch the sunset from a non-beach location. While sandy shorelines might be some of the best places to watch a Naples sunset, there are other incredible options, like a park along Naples Bay or a quiet canal bridge.
