Coquina Sands is one of Naples’ most valuable, defensible, and rapidly evolving coastal neighborhoods — offering a rare convergence of direct beach access, architectural freedom, walkability, and proximity to Naples’ most transformative ultra-luxury developments.
Located directly along the Gulf of Mexico between Old Naples and Park Shore, Coquina Sands has become the epicenter of Naples’ next generation of coastal real estate — attracting global developers, ultra-high-net-worth buyers, and landmark branded residential projects.
Once known for its quiet residential charm, Coquina Sands is now widely regarded as ground zero for Naples’ coastal evolution.
Community Type: Non-gated coastal neighborhood
Setting: Gulf-front estates + inland residential streets
Lifestyle Focus: Beach access, walkability, redevelopment value

Unlike planned communities, Coquina Sands offers true neighborhood living — free from mandatory clubs, HOA-driven architecture, or resort density.
Coquina Sands occupies one of the most irreplaceable geographic positions in Naples.
Residents enjoy:
Immediate access to the Gulf of Mexico
Walkability to Lowdermilk Park
Minutes to Old Naples
Direct adjacency to Park Shore and Venetian Village

One of Coquina Sands’ greatest advantages is its proximity to Lowdermilk Park, one of Naples’ most beloved beachfront parks.
