We were introduced to the Naples Island neighborhood a few years ago at Christmastime. The houses are ALL decorated, and they even have a Boat Parade during December. There are even Gondolier boats that take you through.We parked locally, and then stroll through the neighborhood - enjoying the lights, music and scenery -- YOU WILL TOO!!
great restaurants, wonderful view of the water channels that run through the city, a gondola ride of paddle board will get you closer to the water.
Great place for a walk!I went with my hubby and 2 little boys we had such a nice, fairy tale day! It was beginning of January but you can see lots of blooming and green beautiful landscape.It is pretty urban but houses look like no one live there so quiet and peaceful.You can spent 2h quality time just walking around the canal and enjoying the unique environment.Strongly recommend if you visit Long Beach!
I live near this Island, my neighborhood for 35 years. The Belmont shore Second street is the place to be. Plenty of Restaurant to choose from and great place to shop. Naples canal island activities includes, gondola ride, board paddling, Kayaking, and nearby is for the Dragon Boat enthusiast. A lot of homes have their own dock for their Boat and yacht .
We were taken by family to see Naples community Christmas light display. Beautiful lights with many houses well appointed with Holiday decorations.
We walked around the canals admiring the homes and just had a delightful time. Such a pretty setting and a wonderful 2nd street full of great restaurants and shops. Great time for a little sight seeing
We have walked and kayaked many times in Naples. It's interesting. Sort of a refuge for the 1% who can pretend the problems and squalor of nearby Long Beach don't exist.
quaint unique they even have gondolas off second street significant shopping area it is a street for strolling
Great place to stroll around or take power walks. Mothers beach and the Long Beach Yacht Club are near by as well. Great for bike riding too. Enjoy this island year round.
An evening walk in Naples in December is a great way to spend a night. I've never seen houses decorated like this, and this little community actually looks Italian - canals and bridges. The houses were decorated with lights, some with music and disco balls, moving parts and a mini roller coaster. It delighted both the kids and adults in our party!
