"Naples Casual" is the standard:

Men: Collared shirts/polos for dinner. Shorts okay at most places, but pants preferred at fine dining.
Women: Sundresses, nice blouses.
Beachwear: Cover-ups required when leaving the sand. Shirt/shoes required in all shops/restaurants.

Technically no, but servers earn a lower minimum wage ($8.98/hr) and rely on tips for their income. 18-20% is the expected standard for full service.
