Naples Beach Hotel Outdoor Facilities Tour

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

This is the joint I’ve been hanging around during my winter vacations for almost 20 years. It’s old school Naples Florida and still retains that charm of Florida the way it used to be.

The staff is friendly, the facilities perfect and the whole place just works. We pull up, valet the car and set up on the beach. There are eating, drinking and bathroom facilities open to the public. If you spend $15 at the bar or on food there is no charge for the valet.

Crab Traps, Naples Fl

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Crab traps are very similar to lobster traps but are square shaped instead of  rectangular.  They also have the openings on the top of the trap and do not have knitted heads like a lobster trap.

Many Gloucester fishermen have fished out of Naples at one time or another, mostly longlining for swordfish back in the day.  Mark Ring has a few great stories he tells from his days fishing in this port, none of which I can repeat here.
