Naples, FL - Things for a 25 year old

Hello,
I'm heading down to Naples, FL to visit family for about a week...
Never been down there, or to Florida at all actually (I don't count a layover at an airport). I'll be by myself most of the time in the evenings/night...anything around for me to do? Or where to go to meet people my age? I love to meet new people, really easy going.
Any place to have a beer, see some live music or anything? Thanks!

Are you going to have a car?

Go to the Everglades. Go to a Spring Training game, depending on when you will be down there. There are a lot of posts on here about Naples.

chgeeb,
I think you would like South Street City Oven and Grill.
Nice locally owned bar/restaurant.
In the evening it has a younger crowd. Music, drink
specials etc. Very casual and friendly, good food too.
For a tad more upscale there is Mercato, shops and
restaurants and bars. Mercato gets all ages, but I've seen
lots of 20's/30's there.

I am 29 and I can't remember the exact place I went to. It was on 5th or 3rd Avenue. It had outside seating and live music. It was so fun! It was on a corner. I remember that. Perhaps someone can help me out?

Down by the beach there are a couple of TIKI bars and if you hang around the high end hotels, you might just spot several of the Famous Naples Cougars... not very rare, but fun to wrestle with... you might pick up an expensive watch or be captured by one of these wrinkled beauties...

Sounds like a fun time had by all! I'll keep an eye out. Although I'm suspecting the fiance won't approve

a great singles scene (tastefully done in true Naples style, of course) can be found at "Handsome Harry's on Third St. in the "Historic " Olde Naples area. The bar and restaurant is almost entirely outdoors and there is music every night. It's right across the street from Tommy Bahamas Restaurant. Another place would be the Beach Club, where they just redid the pool & tiki bar--they usually have music evry night in season.But the guy who wrote about the sugar daddies wasn't kidding.Don't be too shocked by the demographics; Cancun it ain't!

Marco Island has the Snook Inn for a tiki bar experience.

You can rent a jet ski on the beach.

Captiva is not so far. You can do the bike trip through the natural setting.

Handsome Harry's sounds like it might be the right fit! Might be a sign considering my middle name is Harry, must be the place for me.
Thanks so much everyone, I really appreciate it! I can't really count on the "old folks" I'm going to visit to suggest a place
