Whatever your taste, whatever your style, Coquina Sands is an ideal location to enjoy the best that Naples has to offer. Dining is dominated by the famous Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South eateries, including Tommy Bahama, Sea Salt, The French, and Bar Tulia to name a few.

Old Naples is not just home to some of the best dining in the area, but fabulous shopping too. When retail therapy is the order of the day, try Fifth Avenue South for bold fashion, such as Jami’s Boutique alongside wonderful antique and fine art stores, fine jewelry, and everything else you may need. Third Street South is just as diverse, from men’s fashion at Carter and Finley to women’s fashion at Leggiadro, fine jewelry and unique, handcrafted gifts from artisan stores such as Marissa Collections Jewelry.

Great coffee isn’t far away either, with 5th Avenue Coffee Company and the wonderfully named Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii around the corner, both perfect for a morning walk. Groceries are covered by any number of chain stores, but local boutique stores such as Oakes Farms, Wynn’s Market, and 100% organic Food and Thought get my business.

Naples has an excellent reputation for its education department, with the Collier County Public Schools District winning an “A-” rating from the Florida Department of Education three years running.
