The Paradise Coast of Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades is located at the Southwestern tip of Florida's Gulf Coast. The area is easily accessible by highway or air, yet once you arrive, there is a distinct sense of being 'away from it all' in what is truly Florida's Last Paradise. Once you arrive, you won't want to leave!
Drive
Main access to the area is via I-75, known as Alligator Alley in the section between Naples and Ft. Lauderdale. From I-75, five exits offer drivers entry into the area. Exit 80 to SR 29 leads to Everglades City, Immokalee and Ave Maria. Exit 101 to SR 84 leads visitors to downtown Naples. This is the best exit for visiting Fifth Avenue South, Third Street South, the Naples Pier and the many shops, galleries and restaurants in Old Naples. Exit 101 is also the exit for Marco Island - just follow Collier Boulevard (SR 951) west to the island. Exit 105 leads to Naples and Golden Gate. Exit 107 (Pine Ridge Road) leads you directly to U.S. 41. This is the best exit to reach Clam Pass Beach Park. Exit 111 (Immokalee Road) leads to North Naples to the west and the National Audubon Society's renowned Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, just 15 miles east, as well as Ave Maria and Immokalee.
The area can also be reached from Miami via U.S. Highway 41, also known as the Tamiami Trail. This road, designated as a National Scenic Byway and Florida Scenic Highway, celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2008. This two-hour drive takes you through the Everglades and Big Cypress National Preserve. There are numerous scenic stops along the way. Drivers passing at sunrise and sunset are often rewarded with stunningly beautiful imagery. Anytime of the day you may also spot many species of birds and wildlife.
