New homes in Naples Florida are surrounded by some of the most scenic beaches in the South. Naples is one of the best beach towns in Florida for family vacations on the blue green Gulf of Mexico. Now, the Naples beaches are undergoing an attractive facelift. FEMA and the State of Florida are paying nearly $3 million for the 2014 Naples Beach Renourishment Project.

The project will add about 79 tons of new sand to a stretch of Naples beaches. Officials in Collier County say the purpose is to fix the damage left by Tropical Storm Debbie two years ago. The project should be finished before Christmas.

The renourishment project isn’t expected to stop tourists from visiting the area for planned family vacations. With temperatures hovering around 80 degrees, Naples is warmer than most of Florida during the cooler months of December through April. The area especially flourishes during the holidays. When people visit the area, whether it’s for the first time, or if they’ve been many times, one can’t help but enjoy all that Naples has to offer.

The city is a wonder to behold. It's home to beautiful beaches, breathtaking sunsets and lush tropical foliage. Naples is famous for its chic shopping and nouveau dining opportunities, and it’s close to nature attractions for the increasing ecotourism visitors. In addition, Naples also has an unbelievable amount of money all around it. It’s fun to drive around to see the luxurious golf course and beachfront mansions and expensive cars. 

For those reasons, many people who visit often find themselves looking for new homes in Naples Florida or a second home to settle down in retirement. It often only takes one trip to fall in love with Naples! Naples’ wide variety of homes are very attractive to homebuyers looking for everything from simplicity to a life of luxury.

For example, Pelican Bay is one of the premier master planned communities in Naples offering the beach, tennis, golf resort amenities, and an oceanfront 530 acre nature preserve. This 2,100-acre Naples FL beach community is home to an extraordinary estuary system connecting the community to Pelican Bay’s white sandy beaches. Amenities include a private golf club, 18 tennis courts, a fitness center and a community center for social activities. The Pelican Bay, Tennis Center is one of Southwest Florida’s most active tennis communities. Annual events at the center include the Annual Pro Exhibition, Pro League, championship events, and Grand Slam Series.

Nearby Marco Island and the Naples beach is the award winning Lely Resort. It's home to three-championship golf course and just minutes from beautiful beaches and the highly desirable Fifth Avenue Shopping District.
