Promenade took a hit with the recession and opening of two mega-malls nearby. In a lush boardwalk setting, it makes for a day trip complete with dining, movies and live entertainment at night. North of Naples, Coconut Point has 140 stores that range from big-box outlets such as Best Buys and Target to specialty boutiques such as Brighton and Coach. If your travels take you to Marco Island, you will want to browse the many strip malls and shopping centers for souvenirs, jewelry, beachwear and gifts, plus there's a nearby factory outlet center. You'll also find opportunity for entertainment to enhance your shopping experience - everything from live bands and movies to theater and the beach. Like most of the shopping arenas in and around Naples, dining experiences from ultra-casual to sit-down fine with water views complete the 'shop 'til you dine' equation.
Fashion-forward shopping centers in North Naples, such as Waterside Shops and the newest, Mercato, are pure meccas of shopping for the die-hard buy-hard. To experience the spectrum, don't miss Fifth Avenue South, with its sophisticated, youthful vibe, or nearby Tin City, a throwback to Naples' commercial fishing days.Īway from downtown - also known as Old Naples - you will find plenty to tempt your credit card. Several distinct neighborhoods range from historic upscale to salty and spicy.
Downtown Naples shopping has a character all its own.
