Barefoot Beach Preserve - Over 350 acres of pristine beaches and woodland trails highlight a trip to Barefoot Beach Preserve in northern Collier County. The beach runs untouched for 1-1/2 miles, and a great trail system meanders through tropical hammock and mangrove swamp. A learning center features exhibits on sea turtles and shorebirds, and occasional lectures are offered on subjects as varied as shelling and fossil collection. |

Clam Pass County Park - This 35-acre park in Collier County features a nice beach area, a thick mangrove forest, and a tidal bay abounding with birds and wildlife. You can take a 20 minute walk from the parking area over the boardwalk to the beach, or if you prefer a tram service runs every six minutes. A concessionaire rents kayaks, canoes and sailboards, and the beach is rarely crowded |

Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park - One of the most popular seashore destinations in Naples, this park's mile-long stretch of white sugar sand has been rated as one of the best beaches in the nation. The beach is popular for sunbathing, swimming, beach combing, snorkeling, and picnicking. Fishing at the beach along Wiggins Pass, where swimming is not allowed, is another popular activity. For saltwater or freshwater fishing, boaters can launch their vessels into Water Turkey Bay and travel to the Gulf or up the Cocohatchee River. Kayakers can enjoy paddling through estuaries; scuba divers can explore the hard bottom reef in the Gulf. At the north end of the island, a tower gives visitors a bird's-eye view of Wiggins Pass and the surrounding coastal habitat. NOTE: To avoid overcrowding during the busy winter season, the park closes its gates when it reaches maximum capacity. Located in North Naples five miles west of I-75-exit 111. |
