WATER & COAST
Vanderbilt Beach
Collier County · South Florida & the Keys
The county's five-acre beach park in North Naples, which the county calls one of its most popular accesses. Wide sand with sea oats behind it, and a parking garage with the number of open spaces posted online. From January through March it fills early and the county advises arriving before 10 a.m. Foot showers, restrooms, bicycle racks, and a concession stand that rents chairs and cabanas and sells snacks, drinks and beach toys. Open 8 a.m. to sunset. $10 to park without a Collier County resident beach parking permit. No dogs.
