 VIBE: Relaxed, Upscale North Gulf Shore Beach, 4989-4999 Gulf Shore Blvd N, Naples, FL 34103 Updated February 22, 2023. Looking for a relaxing getaway in paradise? Look no further than Naples North Gulf Shore Beach for your next vacation! This pristine beach area is recovering from hurricanes but remains one of the most popular destinations along the Florida Gulf coast. Read on to discover all this beach has to offer. This beach access is located on the north side of US 41, just south of Pine Ridge Road. The beach has a white sand shoreline and there are plenty of palm trees to provide shade. This beach is open from 8 am to sunset year round and has in-season lifeguards on duty during those hours. There are showers, changing rooms, and restrooms near the small, metered parking lot for visitors. Dogs are not allowed on this beach. Naples Beach Sand  The sand on any beach on the Gulf of Mexico is incredible! Some beaches are more rocky but this beach has soft, white sand that is thick and plentiful. It's powdery and if you like lying on the sand, it will surround your body like a warm blanket. When we visited the beach, it was free of debris and a delight to walk on. Sometimes the sand is too hot on your feet, but during the winter it is just about perfect. There are some large rocks on the beach which are great for photographs. Naples Beach Water  It's hard to beat a Naples beach for beautiful Gulf water. Similar to Siesta Key Beach, the blue green hues are the first thing you see after you exit the path onto the beachfront. The water is calm, clear and you can see right down to your feet. There are only a few pebbles as you wade into the Gulf water. It's not shell covered like Sanibel Island, but you can find a few good ones if you take your time. Naples has over 10 miles of coastline and North Gulfshore Beach delivers the beauty and relaxation you expect in Florida and it is clean. When you view the Gulf of Mexico for the first time, the only thing you'll say is, "Wow!" Naples Beach Parking and Amenities  This beach is smaller than Clearwater, but just as pretty and not as crowded. Parking is available but limited. The parking lot has 38 parking spaces available and it's pay at the meter. But, like every other parking lot near a Florida beach, you will have to get there early! Then just walk between the condos of Seagate and North Gulfshore Boulevard to reach the shoreline. If the lot is full, there is metered parking available at several other nearby beach access areas. You can pay by credit card and it is patrolled:

We love the large rocks leading into the Gulf water which are great for photos. We have been to beaches all over Florida and this one is beautiful. It's just so relaxing and less crowded than other Gulf beaches. There are a few large condos to the side of the beach, but the foliage behind you makes it seem like a little island paradise. If you visit during when the snowbirds are gone, you will get the best water temperatures for swimming with less crowds.
