Breathe-easy, room-to-stretch beaches and fashion-shopping streets.

The Gulf Coast's answer to Palm Beach isn't nearly as snobby as the latter. Sedate, fashionable and moneyed, though, its mansions and chic shops reek of gentility. In keeping with that ethos, it might not shock you to learn that it's the golfing capital of the world; over 50 courses have been laid out. It also has a nice setting on the Caloosahatchee River. Before setting off for the beaches, wander down 5th Ave to get a feel for Old Naples. After lunching somewhere and taking a detour to a fabulous Audubon sanctuary, you will have done it all.
