Vanderbilt Beach, Public beach in North Naples, Florida, US
Vanderbilt Beach is a public beach along the Gulf coast in North Naples with soft white sand stretching for several kilometers. Luxury resorts and residential buildings line the shore, creating a developed waterfront setting.
Following Hurricane Ian in 2022, the beach underwent extensive restoration to rebuild access roads, boardwalks, and parking facilities. Work was completed through 2023, restoring full public access and amenities.
The beach serves as a central gathering point where locals and visitors swim, search for shells, and enjoy water sports together. You will see people paddling, snorkeling, and relaxing by the shore throughout the day.
The beach is open to the public during daylight hours with parking, restrooms, and shower facilities available near the entrance. Visitors can rent beach equipment and use free life jacket stations throughout the area.
A free life jacket loan program helps visitors stay safe in the water while preserving the natural coastal environment. This practical safety measure sets it apart from many other beach destinations in the region.
