The Golden Days of Summer SUMMERTIME IS A MAGICAL SEASON. The kids are out of school, the sunshine seems never-ending, and there’s no shortage of adventures that await. For many, summer evokes fond memories of childhood—sleepaway camp, family vacations and swimming until your fingers shriveled like prunes.

We also celebrate our nation’s independence, host parties for our friends and family (see page 24 for perfect summer drinks) and, if we’re lucky, go for a luxurious joyride in the new 2020 GLE SUV! In this issue of Naples Lifestyle, we want to remind you why summer is a season of opportunity. When’s the last time you played tourist in your home state? We invite you to use pages 16-21 as your guide to some spectacular vacation destinations without even crossing state lines.

This month is also a great opportunity to discover the delectable menu at Cooper's

A Round of Applause for Kylie Campbell, Barron Collier HS April 29 was a normal Monday for most high school students, but for Kylie Campbell, it was a day to remember. Kylie placed as a semifinalist at the 36th Annual National Shakespeare Competition while competing against 50 U.S. students on stage at Lincoln Center Theater. The event is the culmination of a year-long competition hosted by the English-Speaking Union.

DRIVER’S NOTEBOOK

Wheels to Wish For INTRODUCING THE 2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE SUV

NOTHING SAYS “ROYALTY” LIKE THE ALL-NEW MERCEDES-BENZ GLE. From the exterior which exudes presence and power to the interior which boasts luxury and elegance, every GLE model is a timeless vehicle of high-grade technology and craftsmanship.

Exciting new additional standard features now include MBUX with Voice Control, dual-12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch touchscreen multimedia displays, MercedesBenz Navigation, LED headlamps, hands-free access and valued safety features such as Blind Spot Assist and Active Parking Assist. Optional high-end features to further enhance this vehicle include an enlarged panoramic sliding sunroof, 4-Zone Climate Controls and Inductive Wireless Charging, Energizing Comfort (music, lighting and massage) and Energizing Coach (interacts with GARMIN wearables). The GLE 350 4MATIC, GLE 450 4MATIC and the GLE 350 all offer the new 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission which allows for faster, smoother and more efficient driving, aerodynamic properties that make a key contribution to low fuel consumption and a longer wheelbase that creates significantly more interior space: legroom, headroom and optional thirdrow seating. Additionally, the optional E-Active Body Control, combined with Road Surface Scan, the curve inclination function and Airmatic air suspension presents the world’s most intelligent SUV suspension. The juxtaposition of the MercedesBenz sedan and the robust, progressive features of an SUV is the perfect pairing of emotion and intelligence that has every driver longing to have this first-class vehicle as their own.

Destination: Sunshine State VACATIONING IS STAYCATIONING

Amelia Island With 13 miles of breathtaking beaches, profuse native wildlife and pristine waters, this barrier island is easy to reach but hard to forget. This part of the Sea Islands chain has a history of Spanish, French, British and American rule and was named after Princess Amelia, the daughter of King George II. It is now a popular destination due to its luxurious resorts, bed and breakfasts, golf courses and spas. This tranquil atmosphere provides the relaxation needed to disconnect from the busyness of life.

C l e a rwat e r B e ac h A gorgeous beach and stretches of soft, white sand are what make visiting this spot along the Gulf of Mexico a must. Pier 60 offers a variety of shopping, restaurants, live entertainment, local artisans and children’s activities. The Beach Walk is a great spot for fishing, with bicycle racks and boating activities, parasailing, a curving sidewalk for strolling and a bustling nightlife scene. With high-end hotels and condos, a paved bicycle trail lined by mangrove trees and Clearwater Marine Aquarium close by, there are plenty of options for accommodations and entertainment. Venturing to the west central coast of Florida to the 2019 best beach in the United States and the sixth-best in the world will delight any couple or family looking for a short getaway.

Key Largo Leave your cares behind as you arrive at the first key in paradise. A short drive from the mainland leads to a whole new world. Key Largo is surrounded by the warm waters of Florida Bay, the Florida Straits, the Atlantic Ocean and the only living coral reef system in the United States. This is an outdoor and water lover’s dream come true: deep sea fishing, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, boat tours, the first underwater marine park and national parks. This tropical and charming destination offers glass-bottom boat tours; local artists’ creations at the Gallery of Kona Kai; an interactive exhibit that explores the history of pirates in the Keys; the paved Overseas Heritage Trail to explore the island(s) without a car; and a once-in-a-lifetime accommodation at Jules’ Undersea Lodge, a hotel located 30 feet below the water’s surface.
