A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Scattered along the western edge of the Everglades National Park, you’ll find the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge, a labyrinth of land and channels harboring a surreal amount of plant and animal life. While there aren’t quite 10,000 islands here, it is one of the biggest mangrove systems on the planet, making it an international treasure.
The “Paradise Coast” in southwest Florida, sometimes referred to as Florida’s “last paradise,” encompasses Marco Island, the town of Naples (approximately two hours from Miami by car), and the western areas of the Everglades. Beyond Marco Island, which is part of the Ten Thousand Islands, lies nearly 100 miles of undeveloped islands and estuaries, including the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge and various state and national parks. This region is a fantastic destination for nature exploration, featuring luxurious resorts equipped with all modern amenities.
