PULL UP A CHAIR
Our favorite restaurants in Naples.
Breakfast before your adventure. Lunch with your crew. Dinner that turns into a whole evening out.
Fifth Avenue South
Vergina Restaurant
Best for Date night & a lively evening
Italian and Mediterranean flavors, open-air dining, and the energy of Fifth Avenue. This is one of our picks when you want to turn a day exploring Naples into a proper night out together.
A little planning tipPair dinner with a stroll along Fifth Avenue. Check the restaurant’s current music and happy-hour schedule before making plans.
Keep that vacation feeling going over seafood by the bay. The relaxed waterfront setting makes The Dock a lovely follow-up to a morning ride, with time to sit, talk, and watch the boats.
A little planning tipRegular dining is walk-in only. Leave a little flexibility in your plans and enjoy a look around Crayton Cove while you’re here.
Coffee, breakfast, and a little time together before the day gets going. EJ’s is our Bayfront pick for a relaxed morning meal or lunch around the colorful buildings of this downtown neighborhood.
A little planning tipPlanning breakfast before your ride? Leave enough time to enjoy your meal and get back to our shop for check-in.
A little island atmosphere in the heart of Old Naples. Come for a leisurely meal, stay for the conversation, and make time to explore the shops and pretty streets around Third Street South.
A little planning tipThe restaurant recommends reservations. It’s a good one to plan ahead for if you have a particular lunch or dinner time in mind.
When the group is ready for something casual, pizza keeps the planning simple. Stop into Tin City Slice, then leave a little time to browse the shops around this waterfront corner of Naples.
A little planning tipA handy idea after your ride when you want a bite to eat and a little more exploring before heading to the beach.
A family afternoon, a shoreline walk, or a little time with nothing on the agenda. Here are four places we love to recommend.
Old Naples · Twelfth Avenue South
Naples Beach near the Pier
Best for Gulf views after downtown exploring
For a beach stop that fits a day in Old Naples, this stretch of coastline is one of our favorites. Think sand between your toes, time together by the water, and a reason to put your phone away.
A little planning tipPier rebuilding affects the immediate area. Check the City’s latest access updates before heading over or planning a sunset stop.
Beach time, a playground, and picnic tables give the family a few ways to enjoy the same afternoon. It’s a useful pick when some people want to stretch out on the sand and others still have energy to burn.
A little planning tipPack for both sand and play, and check parking information before you leave. Chairs and shade make a longer beach afternoon more comfortable.
The journey to the sand is part of the appeal here. A boardwalk through coastal habitat leads to the Gulf, giving you a different side of Naples before you settle in for some sunshine.
A little planning tipThe boardwalk is about three-quarters of a mile. Walk it or use the free beach tram, and allow time for the return trip.
Make room for a slower day along a beautiful stretch of Gulf shoreline. This North Naples state park is our pick when beach walks, birds, and the natural setting are the main event.
A little planning tipCheck the park’s current alerts, available facilities, and entry information before setting out. Bring water and leave time to enjoy the shoreline.
Menus, hours, parking, and beach access can change. Use the restaurant and park links above for current details before you go.
