It’s Valentine’s Day weekend and Naples is at the height of Season. Yes, traffic is a bit heavier than it was during the summer, and we’ve had a few crisp days when a sweater felt great. But today the skies are deep blue, a gentle breeze rustles the palms, and things look perfect around here!
Have a couple of hours? Get in your car, and cruise around our beautiful area. Here are a few things you might discover:
Down in Everglades City, try out City Seafood. Everything is fresh and local, and you’ll get lots of the unique “local color” that comes with a trip into the Everglades. Eat there, and bring home some fresh snapper for tomorrow.
Pick up chocolates made to perfection at Norman Love Chocolates.Too late for Valentine’s Day? No worries! Norman Love’s wonderful confections are available every day of the year!
Don’t forget our miles and miles of beach. Whether you’re in it for paddle boarding, fitness walking, some serious shelling, or just meandering…take advantage of beach time from Marco all the way to Lover’s Key. You can pack up for a full day, or just toss your chair into the car and hang out for a short while.
Coming up in March, Theater Zone is staging Sondheim’s “Into the Woods.” Get your tickets now!
Evening at the Mercato is always lively! From the Pub to the Naples Wine Bar to nightlife at the Blue Martini, you’ll enjoy countless dining options, have fun browsing the wide array of shops, and mingling. Valet parking is available near Silverspot Cinema and near Bravo!
Art is in bloom this season! On Feb. 20-21, take in the Naples National Art Festival at Cambier Park. Keep an eye toward the park for music too, with free offerings almost every Sunday. Take in Dixieland, Jazz, or favorites from local musicians.
Right around the corner, the Naples Craft Beer Festival hits Bayfront on March 5.
In it to win it? Put your cards on the table at the Seminole Immokalee Casino. You’ll feel like you’re off the beaten track as you head east toward Immokalee, where you’ll find a little taste of Vegas. The casino offers slots, table games, and poker. Ante up!
Take a morning or afternoon on the water with a Pure Naples cruise, starting at Tin City. Choose a sunset cruise, visit dolphins, or go shelling on Keewadin Island. When you get back to Tin City, see what’s new at the Naples Soap Company and browse the offerings at the Monkey Bread Factory. Bet you can’t resist!
