 Aqualane Shores Views, Water, Water Everywhere…

Naples Bay view sites command the highest acclamation due to morning sparkling sunlight featuring the grandest wide sweeping water views and an endless showcase of boating activity not to mention some of the largest sized tracts of land.

20 homes are located on Aqua Cove which offers the widest interior water views.

The widest canals commanding larger water views are found on 4th Street South, 5th Street South, 6th Street South, 7th Street South and 8th Street South. Homesites in these locations are considered superior to those found on the Avenues.

Additionally, Aqualane Shores homes located on Forrest Lane, Jamaica Lane, Marina Drive and Southwind’s Drive offer larger tracts of land and great water views.

9 lake view homes exist in Aqualane Shores offering pretty lake views without Gulf of Mexico access. Use the provided community maps to review listing locations and views.

Approximately 20 off water homes located on small tracts of land are positioned on the interior and located just two blocks from the Gulf of Mexico.

Why Boating Enthusiasts Like Aqualane Shores

Aqualane Shores residents treasure this seaside Naples community because of the Gulf of Mexico access from deep water canals ranging between 8ft and 16 ft affording neighborhood homeowners the ability for a wonderful convenient boating experience. Avid boaters appreciate how fast one can get from their dock to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. They also value the fact they can dock an appropriately sized boat and don’t need to question tides with regards to bridge clearances because they are non-existent between Aqualane Shores and Gordon Pass.

If you’re planning on a very large vessel, you may find Port Royal real estate to be more suitable for your boating needs. For other Naples boating communities you may wish to consider Coquina Sands, Moorings, Royal Harbor and Vanderbilt Beach for waterfront alternatives.
