Resident beach parking

How Naples residents get beach parking passes

If you live in Naples or Collier County, do not treat every beach day like a visitor parking mission. Resident beach parking permits can make City of Naples beach ends and county beach parks much easier, but the right pass depends on where you live.

City of Naples resident permit

Best starting point for City of Naples residents and city taxpayers.

City residents can apply through the City of Naples for a beach parking permit used at eligible city beach parking areas and beach ends. Bring current proof of residency or property ownership, your driver license, and vehicle registration so the city can match the permit to the right household and vehicle.

Where to get it: start with City Hall / Customer Service at 735 8th Street South, Naples, FL 34102, then check the city permit page for current hours, documents, and renewal rules.

City permit details

Collier County beach parking permit

Best starting point for Collier County residents outside the City of Naples.

Collier County residents may be eligible for a county beach parking permit for county-run beach parks and access points. This is the pass to check if your regular beach plan includes Vanderbilt Beach, Clam Pass, Barefoot Beach, North Gulfshore, Bluebill, or Marco Island beach access.

Where to get it: check Collier County Parks & Recreation for the current list of permit offices and accepted documents before you drive over. County community park offices are the usual place to start, but locations and requirements can change.
