Vanderbilt Beach Park
As a prime location near upscale hotels and the popular North Naples area ,Vanderbilt Beach Park is one of the most popular beach accesses. It offers generous space for its visitors, gorgeous white sand, sea oats and rest room access.
During tourist season it can be difficult finding a spot on the beach. Still there is plenty of sand for everyone. If you arrive before 10 a.m. January to March, you’re sure to find plenty of room. Vanderbilt Beach also is the place for great early morning shelling and all day bird watching.
If you are traveling on U.S. 41/Tamiami Trail, go West on Vanderbilt Beach Road. The park is at the end of the road.
Parking is free with a beach parking sticker. Otherwise there is a daily parking fee of $8.
Vanderbilt Beach Park now includes a new 375-space public parking garage. The parking garage is just west of the Ritz Hotel entrance and a few steps from the beach.
