At the west end of 12th Avenue South, you will find what is possibly the ultimate spot for lovers in Naples — the Naples Pier. No matter if you visit the pier at sunrise or sundown, each experience will provide the most enchanting setting of the day.  Wake up early and take a walk down the historic pier to meet the day. As the sun slowly comes up over the horizon in a haze of oranges, yellows, and blues, your honey will be amazed at the beauty of nature.  At sunset, watch the sun slowly go down hand in hand with your special someone. It might be the end of the day, but it can be the beginning of a lifetime with one special question that you may want to ask your beloved — and there isn’t a better place in Naples to ask.

Naples’ Beaches

A visit to one of the beaches in Naples can be utterly romantic. Holding hands, feeling the sand under your feet, and soaking in the ocean views — what a great place for some quality time just for two.  Located in North Naples and a stop on the trolley line is Vanderbilt Beach Park.
Pack a picnic basket filled with your favorite foods and spread out a blanket on Vanderbilt Beach’s powdery sand for a captivating ocean-view date.  Just two short miles north is Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, which boasts one of the most pristine beaches on the gulf. This beautiful stretch of coastline is a wonderful place for slow, long walks looking for seashells and watching the shorebirds take flight together.
