This question was actually searched on Bing.com sometime earlier this morning according to my web statistics and since I thought it was such a curious question, I'm going to answer it here.
Is It Better To Come To Naples Florida In November Or December?
Of course without knowing the full objective of the person who's asking I'll make a few assumptions but encourage all of you who have questions like this about real estate anywhere to simply contact a smart real estate expert who can define your answer after knowing the source of your curiosity.
Naples Florida Seasonal activity is largely dependent on the weather and economy so when the snow starts blowing up north and if the money is flowing Naples can see a great influx of seasonal traffic as early as October but typically activity will gradually ramp up starting in October or November and increase steadily til January when we are considered in high season.
October and November can be considered a couple of the best months to visit Naples because of a handful of reasons.
- The rainy season typically wraps up in October and with that, humidity and temperature levels will drop slightly making it perfect beach, golf and shopping weather.
- Crowds and traffic are still quite tolerable meaning you don't necessarily need to make a dinner reservation 2 months in advance during this time of year and getting around town is still quite easy due to the lack of traffic you'll find compared to January or February. Tee times, parking spots on 5th Avenue, 3rd Street and Waterside Shops are easier to come by and Naples has an all around enthusiastic buzz due to the ramp up for season.
- If you're in the market for Naples Florida real estate, there's a HUGE influx of inventory that starts hitting the market in October so it's possible to get the pick of the litter without having to compete heavily with other buyers and with the uncertainty of what kind of selling season we're going to experience, sometimes you can cut a better deal than you can during the high season months.
There are other excellent reasons why October and November are excellent months to come to Naples Florida like:
- Crab claw season starting on October 15th
- Third Thursday on Third Street South offers live jazz, rock, folk and other kinds of music in the courtyards and plazas. FUN!
- Tee times are alot easier to set up
- Fun events like the Naples International Film Festival (November 5th)
So if you too are wondering when the best time to come to Naples is...come early and stay late...a topic for a future blog post! :)

Shannon, and I think most of the airlines have super cheap fares, at least until late November or early December.
Patricia: You're right! I've always wondered why airfares typically drop during season...you would think they would increase...we're very fortunate about that!!! :) Thanks for bringing that up!!!
HOW IN THE WORLD did you get SHANNON.com...I wanted that!
Are there hurricans in Naples Florida?? if So, no thank you....! :)
I heard there are alot of beautiful women in Naples Florida...so you add that to Claw season, Jazz, films, and Golf...I think I need to visit! really...any time..
Well , not hurrican season...! :)

Darin, You're such a clown! :) There aren't any hurricanes in Naples Florida right now! :) and statistically Naples has been pretty luck over the last years! We had Donna back in the 60's...we felt a little bit of what Charlie brought in 2004 and Wilma in 2005 but we've REALLY been fortunate to not experience too much drama. I stayed home for both Charlie and Wilma and yes...I live west of 41 which is considered a mandatory evacuation zone...it sounds a lot worse than it really is. :)
Nice post Shannon! The same could be said for the Vero Beach area.
I was in Vero Beach when JAWS came out...and the 1st day I was there a HUGE shark washed up on the beach...Tough start as a small child to my vacation!!! I went in anyway!
Thanks for the HURRICANE Updates! It is kinda like getting a Ski Conditions report from Boca Raton!! LOL
My goal in life is to inform & amuse! :)
Barbara, The same could probably be said for all of south Florida...but I'll leave those reports up to you! :)
Darin...you've reached your goal. :)
Great idea and being originally from Buffalo NY either month is great...Great Work
Shannon~
Here in South Florida, in particular, Aventura, Bal Harbour, South Beach & Sunny Isles Beach- I'd say November is a better choice, less congestion, better pricing and availability are just some of the better reasons. Keep up the great work- you are just amazing.

Shannon - I was down in the Naples area in late October a few years ago. I had a great time and the weather was great. I would definitely recommend October to be a great time to visit.
Hey Robert, I've never been to Orange Park before but I see you have the featured spot there! Congratulations!
You know it Shannon! When I've finished my Stone Crabs at the Port Royal Club season opener, that's when the shift to 2nd gear happens. Nice to see your smiling face here again.
Aww thanks Kevin! It's good to see you too! :) Hey I just started the group Beachfront Real Estate. You should join!
DONE!
Shannon I am sure either month would work perfectly fine for me. I hope you are doing well!
Shannon... just curious how a Kansas Girl wound up in Naples.... smart firl indeed....
