Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park

When it comes to the best things to do in Naples FL, spending time outdoors is always at the top of the list. Located along the Gulf in North Naples, Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park offers a peaceful stretch of protected coastline where soft white sand, rolling dunes, and sparkling water create a truly unforgettable setting.

This beloved state park is known for its natural beauty and rich history, dating back to early Native American settlements and later homesteaders who shaped the area. Today, it remains one of the most scenic beaches in Naples Florida – ideal for swimming, shelling, paddleboarding, kayaking through the Cocohatchee River estuary, or simply relaxing under the sun. Designated fishing areas near the pass provide opportunities for anglers, while bird-watchers often spot ospreys, egrets, and other coastal wildlife throughout the park.

Shaded picnic areas and walking trails offer a quiet break from the shoreline, making it easy to spend an entire day exploring. The park is open daily from 8 a.m. until sundown, with a small per-vehicle entrance fee. Whether you’re planning a full beach day or catching a Gulf sunset, Delnor-Wiggins is a must during your stay in one of our Naples Florida Vacation Homes.
