Fly fishing, golfing
and exploring the natural wonderland of the Everglades are compelling
reasons to visit Collier County.
Collier County Visitor Information
Collier County is known as the Paradise Coast and encompasses Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades. The region is promoted as one destination by the Paradise Coast Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. Encompassing
more than 2,000 square miles, Collier is topographically the largest county
in Florida. However, more than 80% of the vast expanse – especially
in the Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve – is designated as park and nature preserve land.
Collier principal cities are
Naples and Marco Island;
however numerous
smaller communities
showcase the area’s
diversity. A new community,
Ave Maria, situated east of Naples on
Hwy 858, is quickly becoming known for their
university and campus style planning that provides a core of a great hometown.
