Everglades City

Rich in history, fishing and water activities.

Located near Florida’s southern tip and southeast of Naples, Everglades City is known as the gateway to Ten Thousand Islands.

Canoe the mangrove tunnels. Take a fishing and backcountry excursion. Hike through the Big Cypress National Preserve near Everglades City.

And, enjoy the Everglades Seafood Festival, a taste of Florida as it used to be. Generally held in February, the festival is as laid-back as a day on the river, yet as lively as a tune on the banjo. It's as real as gators in the Everglades City swamp. It’s a place to snag a seat on a carnival ride, relax with the family and raise a mug of suds to the stars – and, of course, sample sumptuous Everglades City seafood, fresh and firm and perfect.
