Discover Aqualane Shores in Naples Florida

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Ideally situated between the elegance of Port Royal and the charm of Old Naples is Aqualane Shores, a Naples Florida waterfront neighborhood that entices with its quiet palm-lined streets and numerous canals. Just as its name implies, Aqualane Shores is home to many wide and deep coves and passages that lead to Naples Bay and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. If boating is your favorite past time, you will no doubt enjoy Aqualane’s bridge-free Gulf access.

If shopping is your activity of choice, Aqualane Shores does not disappoint. Conveniently located next door to Naples’ Third Street South shopping district, you can fill your days browsing art galleries, dining at fine restaurants, and perusing fabulous boutiques. And on Saturday mornings, the great Third Street South Farmer’s Market gives you the opportunity to stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables.

Though Aqualane Shores nestles on Naples Florida’s bay side, the Gulf beaches are just a stroll or a bike ride away, giving you the opportunity to soak up the sun, swim in the ocean, and awe at the beautiful sunsets. Even the Naples Pier, a community landmark since 1888, perfect for fishing or just watching the dolphins play, is nearby.

Within its peaceful neighborhood setting exists a variety of Naples Florida home styles from charming vintage properties dating back to the 60s and 70s, to those that have been razed to make way for today’s new magnificent architecture. Each home boasts its own unique character and its residents like showing off their individuality within Aqualane Shore’s inviting ambience.
