A Checklist of Fun Free Things to Do during a Marco Island to Naples Day Trip
You don’t have to spend a ton of money to have fun when you visit Naples during your Marco Island getaway. Throughout the town, there is a variety of activities and attractions that cost you nothing to explore.
- Take in the sights from Naples Pier. The historic pier, located at the west end of 12th Avenue South, is a great spot to see if you can spot a dolphin in the Gulf of Mexico or catch a stunning sunset.
- Visit the Naples Depot Museum or Collier County Museum. Both of these museums, like all Collier County museums, offer free admission.
- If you’re visiting between November and April, stop by Cambier Park to enjoy Art in the Park. Taking place on the first Saturday of the month, this free art show showcases local artists.
- Go shelling along the shoreline of a Naples beach. As you search for shells, remember it is illegal to take live creatures, so make sure you only collect shells that are no longer living.
- Book a tour at The Bird Gardens of Naples, which offers free educational tours. See and learn about over 100 birds with origins around the world. While tours are free, you do need to book a tour.
