Location
Parking situation
78 parking spaces
The classic 12th Avenue South/Naples Pier beach access is commonly listed at about 78 beach-associated spaces, but the City notes that Pier rebuild work can limit public parking.
- Check current Pier construction status before making this your only plan.
- Pay-by-space or beach parking permit required.
- Nearby beach ends and Old Naples streets have strict permit and metered rules, so read every sign.
Before and after sunset
Before sunset
Make the hour before golden light feel easy.
- Walk Third Street South or the Old Naples side streets before heading to the beach.
- Use Broad Avenue South or 13th Avenue South if construction redirects beach access.
- Arrive early enough to handle parking and any pedestrian bypass.
After sunset
Keep the exit and dinner plan simple.
- Walk toward Third Street South for dinner or dessert.
- Take a slow Old Naples walk instead of rushing straight into traffic.
- If the Pier area is crowded, use a nearby beach end as the quieter sunset exit.
