The Long Beach community of Naples features affluent seaside living with an Italian flavor. Prestigious waterfront homes line quaint canals edged with palm trees and exotic flowers. Romantic gondola rides are available and many fine restaurants line the main boulevard.

If you exit right from the Marina Pacifica Mall (located at 6324 E. Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach), go to the first light and turn right, this is 2nd Street. Continue down 2nd Street for about 2 minutes when you will see the Rite Aid store at Ravenna Drive. Turn left, towards the ocean on Ravenna Drive. Cross over the Rivo Alto Canal and you will see your goal, welcome to island living. After finding your treasure you may want to take a stroll along the canals, you can reach them in any direction. If you head towards the water down Colonnade you can visit "Treasure Island" by turning right at the water then up the stairs and across the bridge that is on the left.
A conundrum is a puzzle, this one is easy as can be.
The prize you seek is hidden well behind a tall palm tree.
Although there are 8 palms here, there is only one that you need,
The next clue will take you there so now you must take heed.
With your back to la fontana, pause to take a drink and then
You will be at 12 o'clock, the palm you want is at 10.
