The Best Road Trips to Take from Naples

Seated right on the Gulf of Mexico, Naples is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Florida — but it’s also located just hours away from other amazing spots that no one, Floridian or visitor, should miss. Check out these perfect road trip destinations to take from Naples.

Daytona Beach

If you’re looking to spend a weekend away, the drive to Daytona Beach is definitely worth it. Daytona Beach is one of the hottest tourist destinations in Florida for a reason — there are countless things to do, the beaches are vast, and the history is fascinating. And there’s a major perk for Florida residents: hotel discounts.

Ocala National Forest

If you’d rather avoid the city, directly west of Daytona Beach is Ocala National Forest, an enormous forest with multiple recreation areas, hundreds of bodies of water, and iconic sand pine scrubs. Spend a few days camping, hiking on Ocala’s many trails, fishing, and more.

Key West

Instead of heading north, you could take the long drive down to Key West. This southernmost point of the Florida Keys — and the continental U.S. — is known for its coral reefs, unique building designs, and beautiful white beaches on perfectly blue water.

Bahia State Park

Looking for something less populated by tourists? Try Bahia State Park located in the Florida Keys. Located on the water and covering 500 acres of land, Bahia State Park offers amazing beaches and tons of activities like snorkeling and camping.

Weeki Wachee Springs

The Weeki Wachee Springs attraction in Weeki Wachee, right up the west coast from Naples, is a true hidden gem. With its natural aquarium, live mermaid shows, and even a waterpark, there’s endless aquatic entertainment for families.

Tigertail Beach

The little-known Tigertail Beach on Marco Island has only developed in the last few years thanks to the Hurricanes hitting the Florida coast, and it has been preserved as much as possible to maintain its natural, wild landscape. Remotely located and isolated, Tigertail is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle.
