Travel south along the coast to Sarasota. At one time home to the Ringling brothers, who became famous through their years of running a successful and popular circus. Sarasota became their favorite winter residence, followed by many others who turned the city into one of the most sought-after communities filled with fine dining and upscale boutiques. Continuing along the gulf coast, passing Ft. Myers, where both Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were among the residents in the city's past.
As you approach Naples, the destination of the day, you have experienced many different beach communities along the way including Ft. Myers Beach, and Bonita Springs, where many visitors and residents alike enjoy the beach and the warm waters of the Mexican Gulf. Enjoy a brief visit to Naples before reaching your hotel.
