Florida: South-West Florida

Overview

The south-west region is crammed with fashionable and sophisticated Gulf Coast resorts such as Naples and Venice, and the islands of Sanibel, Captiva and Marco (other major cities are Sarasota, Fort Myers and Cape Coral). The region offers a wealth of sports and leisure pursuits including excellent sport fishing, boating (waterfront homes abound) and a wealth of golf courses.

Naples has 41 miles (66km) of public beaches and is a Mecca for retirees and ‘snowbirds’, and one of the Gulf coast’s most expensive towns (Collier County is said to be home to more millionaires than any county in America). In fact the whole Gulf Coast, from St. Petersburg in the north to Marco Island in the south, contains some of the most expensive and desirable real estate in Florida. Naples and Sarasota are havens for artists and writers and are among the most renowned arts’ centres in Florida. Embracing a jumble of Gulf Coast islands, the region winds along the edge of the Gulf of Mexico from Sarasota to Collier County, with its famous patchwork of 10,000 islands. The south-west region contains the counties of Charlotte (Punta Gorda is the county seat), Collier (Naples), De Soto (Arcadia), Hardee (Wauchula), Hendry (LaBelle) Lee (Fort Myers) and Sarasota (Sarasota).
