Living in Pelican Bay, Naples
Pelican Bay is a large, planned community in north Naples, set between the Gulf of Mexico and US 41. Its draw is a full resort-style lifestyle run by one master association, the Pelican Bay Foundation.
Private beaches and the tram
Owners have access to nearly three miles of private Gulf beach. An open-air electric tram runs from stations along a raised conservation berm, through protected mangroves, to the beach. Members-only Gulf-front dining sits at both ends: Marker 36 to the north and Sandbar to the south.
Tennis, golf and culture
- A racquets center with Har-Tru tennis courts and pickleball courts
- Club Pelican Bay, a private member-owned club with 27 holes of golf (separate membership)
- Fitness and community centers, plus walking and biking paths
- Artis—Naples, home of The Baker Museum and the Naples Philharmonic, on Pelican Bay Boulevard
Homes in Pelican Bay
Pelican Bay includes Gulf-front high-rise condos, mid-rise buildings, villas and single-family homes. It also contains Bay Colony, a separately gated enclave with its own beach club and some of the most exclusive addresses in Naples.
Buying or selling in Pelican Bay
Pelican Bay purchases come with layers to understand: Foundation fees, sub-association rules, optional club memberships and building-by-building differences. TSJ Real Estate Advisors helps buyers compare those costs before they commit, and helps sellers present what makes their home stand out.
