Swap freeway noise for Everglades quiet—Tamiami Trail (US‑41) links Miami and Naples with photo‑worthy wetlands, boardwalks and airboat stops. Start at MIA and compare Miami Airport car rental choices, then plan an unhurried morning departure to beat urban traffic. Pack a cooler, sun protection and bug spray, and expect short bursts of heavy rain in summer.
Stops worth planning
Boardwalks and visitor centers dot the route; watch for wildlife from a safe distance and keep hands inside at airboat operators. If you’re spending a night in the city first, explore Miami car hire to pick up near your hotel. For a loop or open‑jaw, many travelers return on I‑75; consider a coastal exit or return at Fort Myers (RSW) for extra beach time.
Arriving in Naples
Schedule lunch in the shade and stroll a pier or preserve before check‑in. For neighborhood options and small‑town convenience, browse Naples locations for a smooth start to your beach days. Keep an eye on afternoon storms; roads can pond quickly after downpours—slow down and increase following distance.
