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:
Coastal amenity structures differ across Naples. Pelican Bay Foundation beach amenities, Bay Colony privileges and other communities’ beach clubs should be compared through their own eligibility, fees and operating rules.
Pelican Bay delivers resort-level amenities without resort congestion, while Bay Colony elevates the experience with estate-level privacy and exclusivity.
Pelican Bay is uniquely positioned to offer luxury without isolation.
Residents enjoy:
This balance of privacy + convenience is a major driver of long-term value.
Pelican Bay features an approximately three-mile stretch of resident-only beachfront, preserved and managed exclusively for residents.
This infrastructure allows residents to enjoy the Gulf without parking challenges, crowds, or commercialization — a defining Pelican Bay advantage.
Bay Colony residents enjoy access to a separate, private beach club — one of the most exclusive lifestyle benefits in Naples.
Bay Colony is one of the very few Naples communities with a true private beach club.
Marker 36 is one of Pelican Bay’s beach dining destinations. Confirm current operation, access and reservations through the Foundation.
Pelican Bay is equally defined by its inland natural environment.
Residents enjoy:
This blend of coastal + preserve living is a core value driver.
Club Pelican Bay is a separate private, member-owned club. Its golf and social membership arrangements should be considered separately from Pelican Bay community amenities and Bay Colony’s beach-club access.
Contact the club for current membership availability, waiting-list procedures, joining contributions, deposits and annual dues. Confirm whether a deposit is refundable and what privileges, if any, apply while an applicant is waiting.
Application limits, charges and timing may change. Obtain the current written terms rather than relying on a previous opening or a quoted waiting-list position.
