Vanderbilt Beach is one of the best places to catch a sunset in Naples . It’s best to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to sunset to secure a good spot.

Don't walk, but run as fast as you can to the Gumbo Limbo at the Ritz to watch the sunset , it's the most beautiful and romantic date night , then walk beach and take pictures of the beautiful grounds.

White sand , quiet sea, family oriented. You can get a little cabana and 2 chairs for $30 on Rick's kiosk. Don't forget to grab beverages and subs from Board's head near the beach entrance.

If you raise the little flag by your umbrella & chairs, they bring you a drink and your Dad pays for it. Crazy! LOL!

I got a cabana for the day-----they take them up at 5:00. $25:00 for the day. Little breeze as the back lifts up. Love it.
