pelican bay

Pelican Bay is a premier master-planned coastal community in North Naples, extending from U.S. 41 west to nearly three miles of Gulf shoreline. The community includes approximately 6,500 residences across about 95 individual associations, offering one of the most diverse collections of residential real estate in Naples. Buyers can choose among Gulf-front high-rise condominiums, mid- and low-rise condominiums, villas, attached residences and single-family homes, with settings ranging from Gulf and preserve views to lakes, golf course surroundings and established residential streets.

What distinguishes Pelican Bay is the combination of private Gulf beaches, extensive recreational amenities and preserved natural surroundings. More than 500 acres of protected estuary, mangroves and beach create a natural buffer along the Gulf, while an electric tram system and boardwalks connect residents to private beach facilities and beachfront dining. Tennis, pickleball, fitness, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, parks, walking and biking are incorporated into the community lifestyle, while Waterside Shops and Artis-Naples are located within the broader Pelican Bay area. For buyers seeking coastal living with an unusually extensive amenity package, Pelican Bay offers a lifestyle that is difficult to duplicate elsewhere in Naples.
