Where Should I go: Naples or Saint John?
Naples
Located on the Gulf of Mexico on Florida's southwest coast, Naples is a city best known for its high-end shopping opportunities and golf courses, as well as miles of beaches with calm waters and fine sugar-white sand.
Saint John
With the popularity of the Caribbean rising, many islands have become touristy and expensive – but not St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
At only nine miles long and five miles wide, St. John is the smallest of the Virgin Islands, and, many argue, the prettiest. It's the kind of place that has maintained it's cultural identity, but still welcomes visitors from all over the world. With a population of just 5,000, the residents of St. John know everyone and everything happening on the island.
This island is perfect for people who want an undisturbed island getaway at any price. Between resorts and campgrounds there is a spot for everyone on St. John.
