Love this beach. One of my favorite beaches in Florida. Parking is $10 with the mobile application. The walk to the beach is a bit far and this beach provides complimentary golf cart ride to the beach. The sand feels really soft and so does the beach. This beach also has a restaurant/ bar. This beach does not allow dogs. Overall the experience was amazing and I highly recommend it. read more

Everytime I want to go to the beach I end up going to this amazing beach. As soon as you get off your car to walk to the boardwalk to go to the beach there is a golf cart that takes you to the beach for free. All they ask for a tip. The water was a bit cold but it felt soo good. I did go to the beach January 10 which is not beach season but it felt amazing. This park is always super clean and the water doesn't ever have seaweed floating around. This is one of my favorite beach and I may come next weekend again. read more

Discovered this nice sweet beach in Naples. Kinda secluded and plenty of parking for $10 all day. Peaceful and enjoyable 3/4 mile boardwalk from the parking lot to the beach. Should you not wish to enjoy a nature walk, plenty of shuttle golf carts you can take for free that's runs routinely back and forth. Nice water and northern part of the beach has an inlet with shallow waters. Silky soft fine sand and nice clear waters. There's a restaurant and bar if you're hungry and nice deck to enjoy an amazing sunset. They also offer complimentary life jackets for kids as needed which is a nice touch read more

Was interesting for sure. One man stripped down butt naked beside me and then put his swimsuit on. A woman strutted down the beach top less. Another man was wearing a string bikini bottom with his junk hanging out the sides. Beach was terrible with all the shells. Needed shoes for sure. Water was pretty. Lots of biting bugs and begging birds. Pretty walk on the boardwalk. Probably wouldn't bring a kid to this beach. Also in FL I guess you only wear a thong no matter age or size. Different strokes for different folks! read more

You can either take a shuttle or a walk down the beautiful boardwalk through the mango trees to the gorgeous beach! At the end of the boardwalk is a bar and a restroom, which makes it very convenient. You can rent a cabana there if you choose. Beautiful beach, gorgeous ocean! Perfect place to spend the day read more

Just a beautiful park...we enjoyed it so much! We hope to return soon and picnic in the park!

Clam pass was disappointing! Things I enjoyed...Entrance was nice and I enjoyed the golf cart ride back!!! We walked the ramp in hopes of seeing anything in the pretty overgrowth natural environment BUT we didn't even see 1 bird, bug or ANYTHING...it was crazy weird to not see a single creature insect or animal on this long walk! We kept walking even as the golf carts sped by asking us if we needed a ride in hope that we'd reach a beautiful end BUT at the end is a HOT, DIRTY beach with a dirty, garbage thrown outdoor snack fast food type stand! We did not stay...we hopped on the next golf cart n headed out! Caution to parents: golf carts are fast so I recommend sitting in the seat with children and not letting kids right in back! They might actually fall off of back! Beach area had a bad energy, bad smell & just bad when compared to beautiful Marco Beach & Naples Beach! read more

Clam Pass Beach Park - Entrance before getting on golf cart to beach - Parks Near Me - Naples, Florida

We made the trip out to this Park as we had heard great things on TikTok and saw it was being shown as having "crystal clear" waters. We came in August and the water wasn't as blue and clear as I thought it would be, but still very lovely. It is about 3/4 of a mile walk on a boardwalk to this remote beach. They have bathrooms and a cute little restaurant down by the beach where you walk up and order. They also have golf carts that haul people down to the beach for free from the resort nearby the parking lot (they do work for tips). It's $10 to park all day in the lot. I would imagine it fills up fast but we did come during a slower season after school had started in the area and we had 0 issues finding a spot. I can't say it was worth the almost 1 mile walk back to the car in the rain but it seemed like a hidden gem and in clearer water days, it would be a private oasis. read more

Wanted a beach day with our family of four. After parking, you have to take a golf cart ride that the hotel provides down to the beach or walk about 20 min. We waited 15 min for a ride to come along. The concessions are outrageously expensive and not a lot of places to sit unless you're ordering a full meal with table service. This would be a hard pass for us in the future. Very buggy as well. read more

Friendly but red tide and I think we could have been forewarned that the fish we floating and that impacted our experience. Also got lost several times and as low tide we almost got stuck several times in the red tide muck. read more

I walked the board walk today. It was nice considering the chilly morning we were having. A lot of the vegetation died during hurricane Ian, but it's been 6 months and there was a lot of green. Towards the end of the board walk by the beach there is newly added boardwalk going down towards the sand. They have a trolly here in case you don't want to walk. You can tell in some parts the boardwalk was entirely under water from the hurricane. read more

Clam Pass Beach Park - Boardwalk - Parks Near Me - Naples, Florida

This is a little park, but more like a private beach. It has a bridge that connects from the mainland or park to the beach. You can take a trolly or you can walk it. The walk is pleasant. There are many trees so is shady. The park has plenty of parking. You have to pay a one time fee. I think it was $10 to get to the park. You can stay here all day. The park closed at sunset. The fee includes the trolly. FYI bring tip money for the trolly attendant. There is a restaurant and bathrooms at this beach. They also have a bar that serves alcohol here. It is a nice clean beach. You can rent umbrellas for under $20 and cabanas. I don't know the price for the cabana. The attendants are really nice too. I had such a relaxing good experience here. I can not complain. read more

Very nice wide beach with fine white sand. Not crowded at all. To get to the beach from the parking area you have to walk on a boardwalk going through dense mangroves or to take a free tram. The walk is about 10-12 min. There is a restaurant and some beach bed and umbrella rentals on the beach, both very expensive. You can walk in this beach for miles, it's very scenic. It's also famous for its seashells, though we didn't find any interesting ones. read more

We walked the Boardwalk to the beach. What a wonderful addition to the area. It is about a 3/4 mile walk or you can take the tram. Esp with coolers and sand chairs. But the walk was perfect and most area was shaded read more

We drove out to the park to walk and get one fresh air and ended up coming back the next day to use the beach. The boardwalk out to the beach is mostly shaded and has a couple places to sit and a few information plaques about the flora & fauna. If you have beach gear and don't want to do the 3/4 walk to the sand, there's a few shuttles running to take you out. It was great having the bar & restaurant access on the beach as well as the option to rent loungers and towels. The bathrooms were also a nice addition. The beach was clean and easy to access. The nature trail from the beach back to the restaurant was really great too. read more

Ok, I'm a born and raised Neapolitan. I count my blessings daily that I was able to grow up in this beautiful city and to see how much it has changed over the multiple decades I've walked the earth. It's awesome to know that we still have some virtually untouched spots in town like Clam Pass, that only changes due to nature's will. It definitely is one of my most favorite places in Florida for so many reasons. Many people, like me, will launch kayaks to just paddle about enjoying the sun and water. You can also bring a paddle board, if that's your thing, but either way, this is one of the most relaxing areas to do either in Naples. There's a ton of open water, and once you get to about marker 10, the brave at heart and experienced paddler can navigate the twisting mangrove river to emerge on the northern Clam Bay, which is another beautiful experience all itself. I love getting to the Pass, climbing ashore and just chillin' in the soft, white sand to watch all the wildlife and enjoy the Gulf breeze. If you're not a paddler, you can wait for one of the trams behind the resort's hotel to drive you down to the beach. From there, you can walk north to the Pass as well. Bring your chairs, skim boards, etc. to have a great day on a pristine Naples beach, unlike most others in the area. read more

5 stars of course!! Beautiful place to hang out and swim in the Gulf of Mexico. Parking available for $10 or so. Then ride a trolley through a beautiful green path to the beach. Very clean white sands beach. Family friendly and shallow area available for kids. Beach chairs and umbrella available for rent, and a nice restaurant on the beach too! I don't believe I saw a lifeguard though, so wanted to mention that. Overall, would love to go back again anytime. read more

This is my favorite beach in Naples. I absolutely love the nature trail walk that leads up to the beach. There is a tram that can take you to the beach if you can't walk but I love the walk. The beach is well kept and everyone is pleasant. Don't forget your sunscreen. We had so much sunscreen on and still got super burned. read more

Super, super beach. Snow White sand, clean bathrooms, restaurant/bar and a shuttle that takes you from parking lot to the beach (note the shuttle runs from 10-8). We got there at 8 am when they opened (175 parking spots; $8 all day). The "walk" through the mangroves is .60 of a mile and includes a wooden boardwalk with stops a long the other to learn about bugs, butterflies and animals that are found around Clam Pass. When we arrived at the restaurant that backs up to the beach, we found clean restrooms, showers and water fountains (even one to fill a bottle) as well as umbrella, chair and cabana rental. Chairs rent for $30 a piece all day, umbrellas for $15 and cabanas with a full mattress for $189. The place started filling up around 1030-11 and was pretty crowded when we left at 1:30. There are no jet ski rentals but you can get a paddle board or canoe. Shuttle ride back to the parking lot took 3 minutes. read more

My favorite sunset spot Just wish the free trams would have their own lane, gets dangerously annoying as you try to enjoy the boardwalk but have to dodge the trams Caution: don't wear slip ones thongs in morning or after rain, very slippery walkway which is made from recycled plastic Better off barefooted Plenty of parking but you need to pay $8 or have a beach sticker You can No longer rent kayaks here. Just small boogie boards for kids If you re lucky you can catch some bird conservation volunteers at the end of the pass protecting and educating ppl on the birds abs not to bother them If you stop and read, lots of informational posts along the walk. Not much beach by the cafe and restrooms but plenty long for walks or runs Cute space for children to play on the sand, Naples Grande hotel manages this beach area. the hotel provides umbrellas and lounge chairs, towels etc read more

Great trail to the beach that you can walk or take an oversized golf cart. Beautiful sand and there's a more private area off to the right. Best part is that there's a restaurant at this beach serving some decent food. read more

The beach is not as nice as Vanderbilt (lots of rocks on the beach, ouch!). If you're not staying at the resort they won't put you on the front row of beach chairs. We rented 2 chairs and an umbrella. The golf cart people are nice so be sure to tip them for transporting you to and from the beach. The frozen drinks are awful they use the smallest amount of the cheapest liquor (wicked dolphin) and it tastes so bad but out of the two frozen beverages the strawberry daiquiri is better than the pina colada. They actually make a good hamburger here. The bathrooms are very gross but single use, the water didn't work in the women's. read more

Clam Pass Beach Park - Terrible drinks good hamburger - Parks Near Me - Naples, Florida

Nice sugar white sand beach with a short boardwalk stroll from the parking lot to the shoreline. The parking fee is $10 for the day, and there are small trams that continuously run from the lot to the beach. Once you arrive at the beach, you'll pass through a restaurant, and find an umbrella and chair rental stand as you exit to the beach. I'd suggest you bring your own, because the prices looked pretty steep. The water was calm and warm, but not the aqua blue Caribbean beaches to which I'm accustomed. The sand was sugary fine and white, and well raked and maintained. I found lots of fun seashells and was amazed by the number of cordoned off turtle nests. If you choose to visit the restaurant, they have a nice little spot with outdoor lawn games for the kids and a water bottle refill station. We didn't try the food, but it did smell amazing. read more

Nice beach, not crowded when we went on a Thursday morning. They have a restaurant that you can grab a bite to eat at and drink. Bought dippin dots for the kids, $9/piece. It was more than our white claws! Overal nice beach, water was a bit cooler than key west. read more

What a beautiful beach! I absolutely love the white sand and the beautiful water. I could've stayed in the water all day! We rented an umbrella ($22 plus tax and gratuity) which was so worth it. There is absolutely no place for shade and you will get burnt to a crisp without coverage! It was a beautiful beach to take a walk on and collect shells as well! People bring canoes and kayaks on the side of the beach where there is a smaller area to do this in. My kids enjoyed building a sand castle and spent hours doing this! We stayed all day and had a marvelous time. You can use the shuttle cars to bring you back and forth on the boardwalk to the parking lot (you can walk but it is a haul). I loved it! read more

Very nice public beach area that is shared with the Naples Grande Beach Resort next door. There is a long boardwalk that goose through the mangroves to the beach. About a 10-15 minute walk or they have regular little shuttles that will get you out there. Beach itself is very clean and well maintained. A nice little snack bar down there as well as nice bathroom facilities. They have chairs and towels for free if staying at the resort. Available for rent for all others as well as umbrellas and cabanas. Water sport equipment also aavailable I if you want it. Last shuttle runs at sunset so if you want to be out later you will have to walk and the boardwalk is not lighted. read more

This beach is a great find if you don't mind the walk or wait for the golf cart shuttle. As with any beach get there early to beat the crowd mostly for the shuttle. Plenty of parking for $8. We had never been so didn't know what to expect, we brought a wagon with our stuff--chairs, inflatables, umbrella and didn't feel like folding it up to use the shuttle which had a line anyways so we decided to walk. Golf cart is limited to what you can fit on your lap anyways. Two people wide each row with about 10 per shuttle. They had about 3 shuttles circling that Friday morning. It's a 15 minute fast walking or 20 minute or so stroll through the mangrove which was scenic and on a July morning steamy hot. But then we immediately jumped into the ocean when we arrived. The sweat was worth it. Beautiful flat beach, little to no waves good for little kids and plenty of space up spread out. There's a restaurant at the end of the walkway which we didn't try, it's all part of the hotel. The "boardwalk" has outdoor showers and an air pump for your inflatables. Bonus! So the downside for my kiddos was all the small (and sometimes big) fish in the ocean. Yeah I know it's an ocean. But this place has more than any of other places we visited. Maybe because there are no waves? I'm not sure. In any case they will visit with you and I caught one on my neck accidentally and it freaked me out lol. Imagine those pedicure places in Asia that put fish in "the bowl" to eat at your dead skin. Lol. So if you like this kind of stuff this beach is all yours. I suggest traveling light so you can take the shuttle, but even in our 15-20 min walk we beat the people in line to the beach or parking lot. There are two lines for the shuttle by the way-one for hotel guests and one for the rest of us. I presume hotel guests got first dibs. Enjoy! read more

Go right at 10 am, the team starts at 10 or you can walk the mile down to the beach. Nice as far as beaches go. Seems to be a bit ritzier than Wiggins. It also doesn't look like the beach was picked up the night before, lots of kids stuff all over with no kids in sight. read more

If you have the time to make clam pass beach your destination just realize the parking is at the end of Seagate dr. / Pine Ridge rd. Take it over 41 and keep going west. There is a guard gate which waves you in with your beach parking sticker. Otherwise go to the centralized parking machine to buy a day pass for $8. Leave it on your dashboard. They have golf carts to shuttle you and your stuff to the beach. It's rarely too long a wait even during season. The beach is very clean only a few abandoned or lost sand toys. That could be found treasures for kids. It's narrow compared to most every other beach around. So when it's not packed it looks packed anyway. Just because the density effect of less land and more people. The men's room was fairly clean. With big speakers inside. They have a greek menu and cafe area on the deck with plenty of seating and shade covered seats. I usually pack a cooler fishing gear along with sunblock. State residents are allowed a free shore fishing permit. There are also allowance for active duty, seniors, and children. I wish I took a picture of the stuff they allowed and didn't allow. Oh well I guess I have a reason to return. 17/2015 read more

Very nice beach with free golf cart service to and from the parking lot, restaurant and restrooms.

Always enjoy this beach. Plus there's the option to buy food and drink which is awesome.

it begins with a well organized tram ride to the beach drop off. very clean beach.We went during the week so we can't speak to the crowds. $10 for all day parking is more than reasonable. We went 3 times in the week we were in Naples. By far the best beach in Naples. read more

If you are a resident, you can get a free annual beach pass. The parking area has been redone and expanded since Irma, so make sure you go one way. I found out the hard way today.... there are no arrows on the cement, and no signs after you get into the lot- and the parking spaces aren't on an angle, so you may think- like I did, that it's just a big parking lot- we parked right away, so we didn't realize it was a large circle lot. The parking lot employee was very rude and condescending upon telling me I was going the wrong way. Like I said... there are no arrows, so I'm just supposed to know this.... even though it wasn't one way before Irma. he was confrontational and just a bitter sounding man. I'm sorry you don't like your job, but you hold a public position- so be a little friendlier. I'm a local, and not a tourist that you can be rude to. The shelling wasn't as awesome as before. I noticed there was a lot of erosion. Hopefully it's temporary. I think we will stick to Tiger Tail, or Barefoot Beach. read more

Great beach for the fam or just for yourself. Come chill, play, relax, whatever. Once word of caution: parking. It sucks. There are only about 30 spots, so good luck finding a spot between 11am-3pm. We got a spot right when we got there so we were lucky. But the beach is great. Great for every single minute. You must definitely have to come visit it. read more
