In Florida, where there's no shortage of scenic beaches to choose from, it's quite the compliment to earn the nickname of the "Paradise Coast".
That unique honor belongs to the idyllic shores along Naples, Marco Island, and the Everglades, but the entire Southwest Coast of Florida, on up through Fort Myers and the barrier islands of Captiva and Sanibel, truly deserve this rarefied distinction. Despite considerable diversity — classic luxury in Naples, a family-fun scene in Fort Myers, a sleepy, fishing-village vibe on the barrier islands — these areas share remarkable commonalities when it comes to evoking this Edenic image: The shores are unspoiled and lush, stress levels are remarkably low, and the living is easy. In fact, if you so choose, assuming the "Sanibel Stoop" (to non-locals, that's bending over to pick up a seashell) can be the height of your exercise for the day.
Perhaps most important of all, however, is that these cities share a common interest in keeping a little corner of unspoiled nature available for future generations. In even the most developed high-rise stretches of Fort Myers and Naples, nature preserves, state parks, and other pockets of virgin wilderness have been set aside and protected. Even in the urban jungle, you're never more than a few minutes away from the real thing. Here, dolphins, manatees, and dozens of species of shorebirds are just as common as snowbirds.
