Best Shopping in Naples

From the boutiques and galleries of Fifth Avenue South to the luxury wing at Waterside Shops, Mercato's open-air mix and the grocery store that became an attraction, here's where to shop in Naples.

BESTSHOPPING NAPLES · NPL

Naples has been a destination for the well-dressed and the well-fed for the better part of a century, and the shopping shows it. The short version: Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South downtown for walkable boutiques and galleries, Waterside Shops in Pelican Bay for the marquee luxury names, Mercato for an open-air mix of shops, dining and a movie, and Seed to Table for a grocery store that has become an attraction in its own right.

You can spend a whole vacation here and never see the same storefront twice. Below is how we'd point a first-timer, sorted by the kind of day you want, from a slow downtown stroll to a full afternoon of marble-floored window shopping. We've kept the volatile details, the hours and the tenants, deliberately loose, because Naples retail moves fast; confirm before you make a special trip.

The big five

Where to shop in Naples

From walkable downtown blocks to the luxury wing, the destinations that actually earn the drive.

NPLFL
DOWNTOWN · 5TH AVE S

Fifth Avenue South

The palm-lined main street, two blocks from the beach, where shopping is half the point and people-watching is the other half. Expect a walkable mix of boutiques, jewelers, art galleries and gift shops alongside familiar names, broad sidewalks and sidewalk cafes for when your feet need a break. Best browsed on foot over a long, slow afternoon.

DOWNTOWN · 3RD ST S

Third Street South

Naples' oldest shopping district, a few blocks south of Fifth, and the quieter, more courtyard-and-garden side of downtown. Independent boutiques, galleries and designer shops cluster around shady walkways, and on Saturday mornings the neighborhood hosts a beloved farmers market (more on that below). The grandest place in town to wander with no agenda.

PELICAN BAY · LUXURY

Waterside Shops

This is the marquee luxury center, an open-air, lushly landscaped destination anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue and home to names like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Tiffany & Co. and Ferragamo. A major redevelopment has been adding more top-tier tenants, so the lineup keeps growing. Even if you're only browsing, it's a gorgeous, fountain-cooled stroll. Off the Tamiami Trail in Pelican Bay.

NORTH NAPLES · STRADA PL

Mercato

The most all-in-one stop on the list: an open-air mix of shops, restaurants, bars and a movie theater anchored by a Whole Foods Market. You'll find a Nordstrom Rack, beauty and fashion stores and a lively after-dark dining scene, making it the easy choice when half your group wants to shop and the other half wants lunch, a coffee or a film. Park once and stay a while.

NORTH NAPLES · GROCERY

Seed to Table

Oakes Farms' two-story specialty grocery has been called the Disney World of grocery stores, and that's not far off. Beyond a serious produce, butcher, seafood and bakery operation, there are in-store restaurants, multiple bars, live music and a supervised kids' play area, so it doubles as a night out. Come hungry, leave with both dinner and a story. Free to wander; bring an appetite.

CENTRAL · TAMIAMI TRL N

Coastland Center

The traditional enclosed mall, handy on a rainy afternoon or when you just want department stores and air conditioning. Anchored by Macy's, Dillard's and JCPenney with familiar mall brands, a food court and a cinema. Not the most scenic option in town, but the practical one when the weather turns or the kids need a movie.

Saturday mornings

The farmers markets

For local produce, flowers and prepared food, skip the stores and hit the market.

SATURDAYS · 3RD ST S

Third Street South Farmers Market

The town's flagship market runs every Saturday morning year-round, typically around 7:30 to 11:30, with close to 60 vendors, most of them local growers and makers. Expect Florida produce, flowers, cheeses, seafood, baked goods, prepared foods and coffee. Come early for the best pick and the coolest air, and confirm the current schedule before you go.

Free entry
Good to know: Downtown shopping (Fifth and Third) is at its liveliest, and most crowded, in season from roughly December through April; summer is quieter and hotter, and a few independent shops keep shorter hours. Hours, tenants and prices across every spot here change often, so treat the specifics above as a starting point and confirm directly before a special trip.
