By day, visitors to the Shore can sunbathe or enjoy a cool swim at any of the lagoons in Alamitos Bay. Avid water sports enthusiasts can utilize the designated areas for windsurfing, jet-skiing, and water-skiing. Don't have your own equipment? Rentals are available! Those more interested in leisurely activities may want to stroll along Second Street and sample its shops and restaurants or take a scenic tour of nearby Naples. Like Venice, Italy—which served as the inspiration for Naples' master plan—the community was designed around an extensive canal system, giving the area a classical, romantic character. Rides in authentic Venetian gondolas complete with serenading gondoliers allow visitors to capture the full romance of Naples Island.
