Pelican Bay, Naples: Three Miles of Private Beach, and a Home for Every Way of Living

Pelican Bay is one of Naples' most amenitized coastal communities, a master-planned neighborhood along nearly three miles of private Gulf beach, connected by an open-air electric tram and boardwalks that wind through protected mangrove preserves. It's home to more than 6,500 residences, and no two corners of it live quite the same way.

A Lifestyle Built Around the Beach

Getting to the sand here isn't a drive, it's part of the experience. Residents reach Pelican Bay's private beach through an eight-station tram system or a walk along the raised boardwalk over Clam Bay's mangrove estuary. Two beach clubs anchor the shoreline: a casual, beachfront spot for sunset cocktails on the south end, and a more refined indoor-outdoor dining experience to the north. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and attendant service are part of daily life here, not an occasional treat.

Golf, Tennis, and Fitness at the Center of Everyday Life

Club Pelican Bay offers 27 holes of championship golf designed by Arthur Hills. Racquet sports run deep too, with close to 20 Har-Tru tennis courts split between two tennis centers, each with its own pro shop, plus new courts added at the Pelican Bay Community Park. The Pelican Bay Community Center rounds things out with a full fitness and wellness facility, group classes, and a spa studio, all woven into a packed calendar of lectures, art shows, and social clubs.

Nature, Preserved

More than 80 acres of protected mangroves and conservation land sit between the neighborhoods and the beach. The boardwalks and berm paths that carry residents to the sand double as a quiet, shaded place to walk, bike, or paddle through Upper, Outer, and Inner Clam Bay, a rare amount of protected green space for a community this close to the water.

Just Minutes From Everything Else

Waterside Shops and Artis–Naples, the area's premier performing arts venue, sit just a few minutes from Pelican Bay's gates, so residents get resort-style seclusion without giving up easy access to Naples' best shopping, dining, and culture.

A Wide Range of Homes, All Under One Community

This is what makes Pelican Bay unusual: garden-style condos, mid-rise buildings with golf and lake views, Gulf-front high-rise towers, attached and detached villas, and single-family estates all exist within the same set of gates and the same beach access. Bay Colony, a private, gated enclave within Pelican Bay, adds an additional layer of exclusivity with its own beach club and a collection of ultra-luxury towers.

Prices across the community span an unusually wide range, from accessible garden condos to eight-figure Gulf-front penthouses, which means the first real question for most buyers isn't "can I afford Pelican Bay," it's "which Pelican Bay fits how I want to live."

Get the Full Pelican Bay Price & Community Guide

I've put together a complete, building-by-building breakdown of every community within Pelican Bay: what each one is known for, where it sits relative to the beach and Commons, current price ranges, and HOA details including fees, rental policies, and pet restrictions. It's the guide I wish every buyer had before they started touring.

I'm Michelle Trawick, a luxury real estate advisor with John R. Wood Christie's International Real Estate. I track Pelican Bay building by building, not just by zip code, and I'd welcome a conversation about which one fits the life you're moving toward.
