Pelican Bay | Bay Colony

Naples’ Most Complete Coastal, Beach Club & Luxury Lifestyle Community

Pelican Bay, together with its ultra-exclusive, guard-gated enclave Bay Colony, represents the most comprehensive coastal lifestyle environment in Naples, Florida — combining resident-only beaches, a rare private beach club, waterfront dining, championship golf, wellness, preserves, and refined residential living.

What truly separates Pelican Bay | Bay Colony from nearly every other Naples community is layered beachfront access:

  • Pelican Bay’s extensive resident-only beach system

  • Bay Colony’s members-only private beach club

  • One of the most integrated coastal preserve systems in Florida

In Naples, true private beach clubs are extraordinarily rare. Outside of Bay Colony, the only golf community offering a private beach club is Mediterra, placing Bay Colony among the most exclusive lifestyle offerings in the region.


Community Overview

  • Community Type: Master-planned coastal community with gated estate enclave

  • Premier Enclave: Bay Colony (guard-gated within Pelican Bay)

  • Location: North Naples

  • Lifestyle Focus: Private beaches, beach clubs, dining, golf, wellness, culture

  • Setting: Gulf frontage, Clam Bay estuary, preserved natural landscapes

Pelican Bay delivers resort-level amenities without resort congestion, while Bay Colony elevates the experience with estate-level privacy and exclusivity.


Location & Daily Convenience — Central, Walkable, Refined

Pelican Bay is uniquely positioned to offer luxury without isolation.

Residents enjoy:

  • Immediate proximity to Waterside Shops

  • Additional neighborhood conveniences at Pelican Bay Plaza

  • Easy access to healthcare, professional offices, and daily services

  • Central North Naples location with efficient access to downtown Naples

This balance of privacy + convenience is a major driver of long-term value.


Pelican Bay Private Beach System — One of Florida’s Best

Pelican Bay features an approximately three-mile stretch of resident-only beachfront, preserved and managed exclusively for residents.

Beach Amenities

  • Full beach service: chairs & umbrellas

  • Complimentary tram system from neighborhoods to the beach

  • Kayaks, canoes, and sailboats available for resident use

  • Shaded seating, restrooms, and seasonal services

This infrastructure allows residents to enjoy the Gulf without parking challenges, crowds, or commercialization — a defining Pelican Bay advantage.


Bay Colony Private Beach Club — An Elite, Members-Only Privilege

Bay Colony residents enjoy access to a separate, private beach club — one of the most exclusive lifestyle benefits in Naples.
