After we move into our N. Naples condo, I'd like to hit the beach running (it's been a tough winter in NJ). Vanderbilt Beach is a 4.8 mile drive. Is it a nice beach (looks nice from the pictures)? How is the parking? What kind of parking sticker should I obtain?? Any other beach suggestions?

RE: Purchasing a beach sticker. The closest place to where you live is Veterans Park, in case you don't know.

You are using an old link from what I can tell. Try this one

[URL="http://www.colliergov.net/Index.aspx?page=465"]Collier County : Vanderbilt Beach Park[/URL]

The reason I said it looks old is because it now costs $8 to park without a permit. Also, it says there are 152 parking spaces and there's a garage for over 300+ cars next to the Ritz that is now used for beach parking. Just FYI.

Have fun! http://bestsmileys.com/sun/3.gif (broken link)

Somehow I lost part of my post. Just want to add that Vanderbilt Beach is very nice. Barefoot Beach is my favorite in North Collier and is only 5 minutes from Vanderbilt Beach. I thought I'd mention it because a lot of people think it's in Lee County because it has a Bonita Springs address.

Thanks Nancy. Veterans Park will be my first visit once I have all the paperwork together.

I've been to this beach several times Vanderbilt I'm speaking of and I love it! Very clean and plenty of room to spread out. I never had a beach pass as I just parked in the little lot close to the nature reserve area of Vandy. So don't know about the parking pass, but I know you can't pass this strectch of beach.
