Access to Naples Beach - Naples, Florida

Jackie E.

Public access is limited in Naples, so arrive early if you want to find parking on a weekend. There are only 3 entrances to the beach, the first entrance located to the northern part has more parking space. The beach is famous for its white sands, you can take a walk along the shore and get lost in time while listening to the ocean.

The Naples beach experience is a mix of charm and hustle. The shoreline offers a picturesque backdrop, with stunning views of the bay and nearby Mount Vesuvius. While some stretches of sand may be crowded, there's an undeniable energy that comes with the local scene. The beach amenities vary, so it's wise to do some research beforehand. Overall, Naples' beaches are a blend of vibrant atmosphere and scenic beauty, though they might not provide the serene escape some travelers seek.

The parking is a hit or miss..we caught it after a rain shower so was able to get parked easily..the beach wasn't to busy but became busy as the afternoon wore on ... It was nice but not my favorite...the water was to cloudy and had some bad rip currents going on so be safe .. a noodle won't save you from drowning.. so I'd recommend reading how to get out of one ( I say this only because I have lived my entire life on the Outer Banks of NC and know to be safe and respect the water.. otherwise no public bathrooms no frills which is fine with me.. go early and enjoy. The beach is clean and seems a nice spot for families..

I went to the beach on Christmas Eve afternoon and encountered a broken parking machine that displayed a “system reset, please wait” message. There was an alternative option to text and pay via a link, but it wouldn’t work without WiFi—something that’s not available at the beach.

I was there for only 40 minutes, and when I returned, the machine was still down. An elderly couple was also trying to pay but couldn’t because they didn’t have WiFi on their phones either. Despite only about 10 cars in the lot, I was issued an $80 parking ticket.

After doing some research, I found that there’s no way to contest the ticket without spending more than the ticket itself. It’s clear this is a cash grab. The Naples Police Department and the beach parking system are preying on people, especially knowing the machine was malfunctioning. This is shameful, particularly on Christmas Eve.

This was a breathtaking experience
We went right around sunset and captured amazing pictures. If you are on the west coast, find a beach for the sunset. You cannot go wrong.

Lovely, slightly hidden beach in the Park Shore area of Naples off of Gulf Shore Blvd. Great beach, nice sand and long vistas to walk on. 3 stars because there is very limited parking, and no real facilities except for fresh water and a few park benches. Parking is $3.00 per hour with a $1.50 minimum. Google just calls it "Access to Naples Beach" - True name is "Horizon Way".

The only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is because there are only about 30 parking spaces so you will have a hard time finding parking around the area. The city should definitely find an alternative to make more spaces for visitors. Also at $2.50 per hour you're looking at more than $10 once you come here, more than most All Day parking lots. If you do manage to park then you will enjoy the beautiful sunsets and white sand beach.
