Old Naples' Most Coveted
Waterfront Address
Aqualane Shores is one of the oldest and most desirable neighborhoods in Naples, Florida — a private boating paradise developed in the 1950s from previously unusable mangroves into what is now considered one of the most prestigious residential enclaves in the state. With approximately 350 homesites, a large majority situated on deep-water navigable canals (8 to 16 feet deep), the community offers serious boaters direct, bridge-free access to Naples Bay, Gordon Pass, and the open Gulf of Mexico.
Residences feature panoramic waterfront vistas, private docks for sailboats and yachts, and opulent amenities that evoke the ambiance of a five-star resort. The architectural mix ranges from classic Old Naples estate homes to newly built coastal contemporary masterpieces by the area's most respected builders — Toscana Homes, Stofft Cooney Architects, and London Bay Homes among them. Many properties command $10M+ and feature 100 to 180 feet of water frontage.
What makes Aqualane Shores truly rare is its walkability. Residents are just blocks from the Gulf beaches, the Naples Pier, Third Street South's boutiques and galleries, and the dining scene on Fifth Avenue South — including Sea Salt, Osteria Tulia, Ocean Prime, and Bleu Provence. Beach access is available via 14th through 18th Streets, with a concealed walkway at 21st Street South and Gordon Drive. It is the only Naples neighborhood where you can dock a 60-foot yacht, walk to world-class dining, and stroll to the beach — all before sunset.
