The Travel Channel’s Beach Week Expert Panel selected Naples, Florida as America’s Best All-Around Beach for 2005. Naples was selected based on the fact that the destination provides something for everyone – from golf, shopping, arts, culture and dining, to fantastic shelling, family fun and exciting natural adventure in the nearby Everglades.

Leading travel editors from Conde Nast, USA Today and Fodor’s served as the 2005 Beach Week Expert Panel for the selection. Naples was prominently featured in the America’s Best Beaches program that debuted March 6, 2005 on the Travel Channel.

"We are honored that Naples has been recognized by the Travel Channel and its panel of top travel experts, since there truly is something for every member of the family in our destination," said Jack Wert, tourism director for the Naples, Marco Island, Everglades Convention and Visitors Bureau. "Visitors are amazed at the natural beauty and wealth of activity choices in and around Naples. We’re very pleased that the Travel Channel took the time to investigate the benefits of the area so that viewers can get a close up look at our Paradise Coastsm."

Norton. In choosing Naples as No. 1, Villani cited the area’s "amazing range of natural splendor," along with its "sophisticated and serious art galleries," its art fairs, community arts centers and theaters and the Philharmonic Center complex that includes the Naples Museum of Art.
