The Paradise Coast is famous for its sugar white sand beaches that stretch from Barefoot Beach Preserve at the northern tip of Collier County, throughout the city of Naples, along the four miles of Marco Island’s crescent shoreline, and into the deserted Ten Thousand Island region of the Everglades. Our beach parks range from those with full facilities to simple access points perfect for long beach walks on deserted sands. Numerous beach access points in downtown Naples, as well as Tigertail Beach Park on Marco Island, are perfect for visitors staying at nearby off-beach hotels. Beachfront resorts in Naples and on Marco Island provide easy access to the Gulf of Mexico. You’ll find beautiful surroundings, warm sands and spectacular sunsets
