This Is the 'Unofficial Grandparent Capital of Florida'-and It Has Sunshine, Small-town Charm and White-sand Beaches

"However, regardless of whether or not you come here to visit relatives, Naples has an average temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit, making it the perfect place to spend your days at the beach or dining al fresco. I've been heading to Naples for over a decade. Although my husband and I have been regularly towing the kids to see their grandparents here, Naples has proven to be the perfect place for fun with the family -but also for date nights without the kids."

""What makes Naples so special, and why it resonates with solo travelers and families alike, is that you can make the experience entirely your own," says Jay Tusa, tourism director of the Naples, Marco Island, Everglades Convention & Visitors Bureau. "Some visitors pack their itineraries with events, museums, nature, and outdoor adventure; others choose a slower pace with beach time, spa days, shopping, and long meals-it's paradise in whatever form you prefer.""
