Welcome to North Naples
North Naples offers renowned beaches, family-friendly adventures, top resorts, and the all-encompassing Mercato, ensuring unforgettable experiences for all.
About North Naples
North Naples is where the city meets its best-known beaches. The coastline runs from Vanderbilt Beach, with its resorts and sunset crowd, to the protected shore of Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park and the undeveloped dunes of Barefoot Beach Preserve. Inland it is a place of upscale neighborhoods, golf and family attractions, with Mercato as its social hub for dining, boutique shopping and live entertainment.
Beaches and the outdoors
Beach days here are easy to plan: Vanderbilt Beach Park and Delnor-Wiggins have parking, restrooms and long stretches of white sand, while quieter access points like Bluebill and Barefoot Beach Access are favorites with locals. Away from the Gulf, kayak the mangroves from Cocohatchee River Park or on a clear-kayak tour with Get Up And Go Kayaking, walk the boardwalks of Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary or the CREW Bird Rookery Swamp Trail, or explore on two wheels with Naples Electric Bikes.
Things to do with kids and on a rainy day
Families head to the Golisano Children's Museum of Naples, the water slides at Sun-N-Fun Lagoon and the playgrounds of North Collier Regional Park. For grown-ups there is the Holocaust Museum & Cohen Education Center, a night out at Off The Hook Comedy Club, and golf at courses such as Tiburón Golf Club.
Where to eat and stay
Dining runs from beachfront tables at Gumbo Limbo and The Turtle Club to the restaurants around Mercato and Tigress Restaurant & Rooftop Bar; see our guide to North Naples restaurants. The area has the city's best-known resorts, including The Ritz-Carlton, Naples on the beach, The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón on the golf course, LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort and The Vanderbilt Beach Resort, plus more vacation homes and condos than any other area in our listings.
