Neighborhood of the Week: Aqualane Shores in Naples, Florida
Aqualane Shores in Naples, Florida
Presented by Mike Shoaff, Naples FL Real Estate Agent – REMAX Hallmark
As a seasoned Naples FL Realtor, I’m excited to spotlight one of the most exclusive and desirable waterfront communities in the area—Aqualane Shores. Located between Old Naples and Port Royal, this luxury neighborhood features approximately 350 single-family homes, many with direct Gulf of Mexico access and all within walking distance to the beach.
Aqualane Shores, Naples, FL
Why Buyers Love Aqualane Shores
Aqualane Shores offers the perfect blend of privacy, location, and coastal living. Beach access is conveniently available at 14th through 18th Avenues South, along with a hidden path at 21st Street South and Gordon Drive. Residents enjoy a short walk to the charming 3rd Street South shopping and dining district, filled with high-end restaurants, boutiques, and local art galleries. It’s easy to see why buyers looking for walkability, waterfront living, and lifestyle convenience are drawn to this community.
Waterfront Views and Premier Homesites
Homes in Aqualane Shores are known for their incredible water views and premium locations. Properties along Naples Bay are some of the most coveted due to their panoramic water exposure, large lot sizes, and morning sunlight. Aqua Cove includes 20 homes that offer the widest interior canal views in the neighborhood.
Some of the most desirable streets include:
- 4th Street South through 8th Street South – featuring the widest canals
- Forrest Lane, Jamaica Lane, Marina Drive, and Southwinds Drive – known for larger lot sizes and prime water frontage
The community also includes nine lakefront homes that do not offer Gulf access but feature tranquil water views. Approximately 20 off-water homes are situated within two blocks of the beach and offer convenient proximity without waterfront pricing.

Aqualane Shores is a Boater’s Dream
As a trusted Naples FL Realtor, I often recommend Aqualane Shores to boating enthusiasts because of the deepwater canals ranging from 8 to 16 feet. There are no fixed bridges between the neighborhood and the Gulf of Mexico via Gordon Pass, making it easy to dock larger boats without tide or clearance concerns. This direct access is a rare and valuable feature in Naples real estate.
While Aqualane Shores supports most boating needs, those planning for very large vessels may find Port Royal a better fit. For more affordable waterfront options, explore Coquina Sands, Moorings, Royal Harbor, or Vanderbilt Beach.
