Port Royal

Port Royal, on the south part of the peninsula that also includes Old Naples and Aqualane Shores, is the premier boating community in Naples. Of the 500 or so single-family houses in the community, most have back-yard docks on Naples Bay or one of the deep-water feeder canals, a few of which can handle boats up to 100 feet in length. On the western side of the neighborhood, beachfront mansions line the Gulf of Mexico. Some homes were built when the community was developed in the 1950s and 1960s, but most have been reconstructed or torn down to make way for new estates. Boaters can get to the Gulf of Mexico within minutes via Gordon Pass. Marine facilities are available at the City Dock in Old Naples. Residents on almost all the streets in Port Royal are eligible for membership in the Port Royal Club, which is directly on the beach. It has nine tennis courts, dining facilities and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. The club serves as the Port Royal community center, with a wide variety of social activities.

Aqualane Shores

Aqualane Shores is one of the most popular boating, fishing and beach neighborhoods in Naples. It consists of 305 acres encircled by Naples Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, Old Naples and Port Royal. The neighborhood consists primarily of nearly 500 single family houses, with a few condos. Almost all the homesites have private docks on deep-water canals that lead to Naples Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico. New homes and docks have replaced many original properties. Luxurious estates line the beach. At its northern edge is the Naples Yacht Club. The boutiques, art galleries and restaurants that have given Old Naples its prized mix of sophistication and tropical charm are all within walking distance.

Pelican Bay

Pelican Bay is a master-planned community that has 65 neighborhoods clustered around three miles of pristine beach. The area is bounded by two sentinels: the Naples Grande hotel on the south and the five-star Ritz-Carlton on the north. With the exception of the Strand neighborhood of Gulfside mansions, residences are separated from the beach by a mangrove forest and Clam Bay. A string of highrise towers, however, have stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico. The interior properties include midrise buildings, attached and detached villas, garden condos and single-family houses that surround the private, 27-hole Pelican Bay golf course. The neighborhood is governed by the Pelican Bay Foundation, which maintains two beachside restaurants, tennis facilities and the Community Center, which includes meeting and social rooms and a business center. The hub of the community is the Philharmonic Center for the Arts, which hosts world class performers and artists. The Waterside shopping center includes internationally known stores and popular restaurants.

Pelican Marsh

Pelican Marsh is a sprawling community of single-family houses, villas, coach homes and condos on more than 2000 acres, including 133 acres of preserves. Its centerpiece is the 72- par, 18-hole championship course designed by Robert von Hagge. The 25,000 square foot Pelican Marsh Community Center includes a fitness room, massage therapy rooms, aerobics/assembly room, bridge club, book club and tennis facilities with full-time tennis director. In one corner of the community is the Estates at Bay Colony, a private enclave of luxury estate homes built around its own golf course. Pelican Marsh has the distinction of being listed in the publication called “America’s 100 Best Places to Retire.”

Park Shore

Gulf Shore Boulevard North, both the street and the neighborhood in Park Shore, is surrounded by pristine beaches to the west and Venetian Bay to the east. This neighborhood was developed by the Lutgert family, which drew inspiration from Venice, with its cleverly crafted waterway design and architectural styles. Tall luxury highrises look out onto the Gulf of Mexico and the more modest-sized ones that line Venetian Bay. Some custom-designed single-family houses and villas are clustered about. Fine boutiques and popular waterfront restaurants are centered in Venetian Village, as well as the always-crowded Ben & Jerry’s ice cream store. The neighborhood is popular with boat-owners who can maneuver under a few bridges to reach the Gulf via Doctor’s Pass.

Olde Naples

Old Naples takes its name from the seaside village in Italy. It has developed from an isolated spot on the Gulf coast accessible only by boat to a sophisticated tropical resort noted for its boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and street fairs on Fifth Avenue South and Third Street. While the Gulf-front mansions and historic Naples Pier are often pictured in the tourist ads, the village is filled with condos and villas and single-family houses from cottage-style to statuesque. Old Naples is at the northern part of a peninsula that includes Aqualane Shores and Port Royal. On the western front is the award-winning beach and on the east side the City Dock on Naples Bay.
