The Naples area is home to 30 miles of whitesand shoreline, and each beach is its own unique slice of paradise. In the original 1888 brochure promoting Naples as a new resort destination, “surf bathing” in the warm waters along the gently sloping shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico was touted as a “healthful” year-round pursuit. (Gulf temperatures generally range from 68° Fahrenheit in early February to 88° in early August.)
