Where is the best place to view the Naples Island Christmas Boat Parade?
The best places to view are along the Naples Canals and the outer walks. Look for the Rivo Alto Canal on Naples Island. That is where you will see all of the small boats. Just to give you some insight, it gets a little crowded on the canals.
The larger boats will be cruising around the Island. I was taking a walk today on Corso Di Napoli, which faces The Peninsula. If you want to see bigger boats, walk to this street.
Or my favorite viewing spots below would work for you.
I like Bay Shore Drive, North of 2nd Street, or Ocean Blv,d along Bay Shore Drive South of 2nd Street.
The Peninsula along Bayshore Walk is a good location as well. You can view the parade from the restaurants of Ballast Point Brewery, Boathouse on the Bay, and Malarkys in Seaport Village.
