We love exploring new places with our kids, but year after year we end up back in our favorite spot: Naples, Florida. We have been coming back to Naples a few times a year for the past eleven years, and there’s a good reason for that. It has everything a family friendly vacation could ask for: adventure, great dining options, beaches, beautiful weather, and a short plane ride from New Jersey! Here’s a simple round up of some of our favorite places to stay, eat and play in and around the Naples area!
