Fishing is good along the pass. Bring your own food and drinks. Open 8 a.m. to sunset. Lifeguards on duty. U.S. 41 south, then west to Vanderbilt Beach Road.
Beach is at end.
Just down the street from Wiggins Pass, this is a public beach that attracts both singles and families. There are four parking spots for disabled motorists at a prime location near the entrance. The rest of the paid, limited parking is a few blocks east. The beach is right by The Ritz Carlton and within easy walking distance of several casual restaurants. Beach is next to Naples Registry Resort.
