Naples Island

City of Long Beach Hot Spots

Both children and adults can enjoy about a mile of beautiful canals in Naples, which include the semi-circular Rivo Alto Canal and the shorter, straight Naples Canal. Traversing the waterways by boat, kayak, or jet skis provides perennial entertainment in this idyllic neighborhood within the Long Beach area.

During the holiday season, the gorgeous houses on Naples Island try their best to outdo each other with decorations. A great place for a dose of holiday cheer on a cold evening, bring cider or hot chocolate and make a full circle of the island. The second Saturday in December is the usual date for the Naples Boat Parade: count on several thousand extra people trying to park and walk around to see the festive vessels.
