A perennial hot ticket, The Naples Beach Hotel’s SummerJazz on the Gulf concert series promises music and killer sunsets for each installment. But since you're not allowed to bring coolers to the free crowd-drawing concerts, take a visit as an opportunity to try the new menus released in June at HB's on the Gulf (one of the best spots in Southwest Florida for waterfront dining). Make reservations now for the remaining Saturdays: July 16 (Vodkanauts), Aug. 20 (The Betty Fox Band) and Sept.24 (Late Night Brass). Each starts at 6:30 p.m. on the lawn behind HB’s, so give yourself ample time to savor a melon panzanella salad or seared scallops, two of the new dinner offerings from chef Justin Hornyak—but don’t forget to throw down your blanket or lawn chairs before diving in.
