Naples brims with beautiful beaches where dolphins frolic and the sun melts like molasses into the Gulf of Mexico. But the best one is this local, lesser-known park accessed by a long boardwalk winding through wetlands and mangroves. Pay to park your car in the on-site lot and use the park’s free golf cart shuttle service if you don’t feel like making the half-mile walk along the boardwalk from the parking lot to the beach. There’s a cute Greek restaurant at the the end of the boardwalk, overlooking the Gulf, and you can also rent kayaks and paddleboards here or toss out a fishing line in the pass itself.
