Naples is the perfect destination for a memorable vacation. To ensure you have an enjoyable experience, pack smart. Here are some tips to help you prepare for your trip.

A year-round tropical climate means lightweight and breathable clothing is a must. Pack plenty of cotton or linen outfits to stay cool and comfortable. Bring t-shirts, tank tops, and shorts for casual outings and beach days. Sun dresses and light skirts are great for dining out or a stroll along Fifth Avenue South. Packing at least two sets of swimwear means you’ll always have a dry set for the beach.

Don’t forget to bring your beach essentials. A beach towel or blanket to relax on the sand comfortably and a beach bag to carry all your gear are a must. Stay hydrated under the sun with a reusable water bottle, and if you plan on exploring the underwater life, pack your snorkel gear!

The Florida sun can be intense, and it’s crucial to protect your skin and eyes. Be sure to pack sunscreen or pick some up shortly after you arrive. In case you miss a spot, soothing sunburn care like aloe vera isn’t a bad idea either. A hat and sunglasses will help protect your eyes, letting you comfortably enjoy all the sights.

Comfortable footwear is key when exploring Naples. Flip-flops or sandals are ideal for the beach, while comfortable walking shoes are great for exploring attractions and shopping.

While a vacation is often laid-back, it can also be filled with nightlife and dining activities. Pack a few dressier options for evening outings.

Don’t forget to bring your tech essentials to capture your vacation, too. Your smartphone and charger are essential for photos, navigation, and staying connected. If you prefer high-quality pictures, bring a camera. An e-reader or tablet is also great for reading by the pool or beach.

There are other items to consider packing to make your trip even smoother. An extra bag is handy for souvenirs. An umbrella or light rain jacket helps in case of unexpected showers, and insect repellent protects you from pesky bugs, especially in the evenings.
