The county, including the communities of Naples, Marco Island, Everglades City and Immokalee, is famous for its pristine beaches, magnificent sunsets, parks, art galleries, theaters, museums, universities and an abundance of championship golf courses. Collier County is the western gateway to the world famous Everglades. The Everglades and Big Cypress National Parks cover two thirds of the county's total land mass and are a nature lover's paradise.
