Winter vacation makes most people think of snowy landscapes, cozy cabins, and cold weather. If sunshine and the beach are more your speed, a winter vacation in Naples offers the perfect escape. To make the most of your trip to the Gulf Coast, here are packing tips for Naples' unique winter weather.

A winter vacation in Naples means basking in marvelously mild temperatures. During the day, you can expect the mercury to hover between the mid-60s and upper 70s. Winter is also the dry season, making sunshine a near-constant companion. However, occasional showers can happen, so remember to check the weather forecast as your trip approaches.

To stay comfortable throughout your visit, pack lightweight layers. While the daytime temperatures are delightful, mornings and evenings can be a bit cooler. A light jacket, long-sleeved shirt, or sweater will pair perfectly with your T-shirts and shorts, ensuring you're prepared for whatever the day brings.

No winter vacation in Naples is complete without time spent on its famous white-sand beaches. Be sure to include swimwear, a beach towel, and flip-flops or sandals in your suitcase. For those slightly chillier beach moments, lightweight cover-ups are ideal for keeping warm without sacrificing your enjoyment on the sand.

Even though the sun might feel less intense during the winter, sun protection is still essential. Sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are must-haves for any season in Naples. A backpack is another handy item, perfect for carrying beach supplies, snacks, or water bottles for kayaking and hiking adventures.

Packing for a winter vacation in Naples is all about embracing the sunny, laid-back vibe while preparing for mild and comfortable weather. By following these tips, you'll be set to enjoy everything Naples has to offer—from pristine beaches to its vibrant cultural scene.
