Beaches

Miles of soft sand beckon at Naples Beach, home to the iconic Naples Pier. Just steps away from downtown shopping districts like Third Street South, Naples Beach provides ample beach fun during the day and amazing sunset views from waterfront restaurants at dusk. 

The largest of the Ten Thousand Islands, Marco Island Beach is a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of town. You can expect secluded sandbars with some of the best shelling opportunities in the world, as well as quick access to Florida wilderness – a treasure trove of estuaries, mangroves, and more.

In between a mangrove-fringed lagoon and the sandy beaches that line the Gulf sits Clam Pass Park, a natural oasis in the middle of Naples. Sign up for a guided eco-tour and explore lush plants and wildlife near the shore.

Located on a 199-acre barrier island with more than a mile of pristine sands, Delnor Wiggins Pass State Park is an excellent spot to enjoy shelling or bird watching. The natural hard-bottom reef just offshore is perfect for fishing, sunbathing and scuba diving.

One of the most popular stretches along the coast is Vanderbilt Beach, spanning nearly three miles in North Naples. This public beach offers a variety of activities from high-thrills water sports like parasailing and jet skiing to more laid-back options like sunbathing or shelling. 

Tigertail Beach is a tale of two beaches: one with developed beach areas and standard amenities, the other an untamed wilderness teeming with wildlife, tidal pools and unmatched shelling. Lucky for you, you’ll never have to choose.
