After a long day spent paddling through the Everglades, the Sand Bar at the Ritz-Carlton Naples is the perfect spot to unwind: it feels at once private and social, intimate but with a handful of people consistently peppered along the length of the bar. To find it, walk from the hotel along a winding boardwalk that's raised above a mangrove forest towards the faint sound of Peter Tosh and Bob Marley. The tiki bar looks onto the Ritz's own stretch of powdered-sugar sand, and it serves up margaritas and cigars, if you're so inclined. We think its solid but comfy wooden chairs are the perfect perches for watching South Florida's sherbet sunsets.
