Clam Pass Beach Park remains a well-kept mystery for the most part because of the to some degree, concealed access from the crossing point of Seagate Drive and Crayton Road. Try not to be confounded in the event that it would appear that you are moving toward the passageway to the Naples Grande Beach Resort and Hotel – simply remain on course straight ahead. This shoreline stop is a part of the Collier County Parks and Recreation system and has right around a mile of sandy shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico.
From the parking garage, you can either stroll along the promenade through the mangrove woodland or bounce on the free cable car to ride out to the shoreline (it’s around 3/4 of a mile from the parking area to the shoreline offices). The cable car runs ceaselessly so there’s never a hold up to get on board. You’ll discover each luxury at the shoreline including rentals of a wide range of shoreline gear from umbrellas to kayaks, excursion regions, showers, rest rooms, concession for food and drinks, and a beachside semi-formal eating area.
The facilities, comforts and conveniences offered are a joint effort between the regional government and the Naples Grande thus; you’ll see things to be a couple of notches above the usual for a regional park. The restaurant has a full menu and there are mixed refreshments accessible besides the typical but revitalizing beverages you would expect at the shoreline. They also offer shoreline wheelchairs on a first-come, first-served basis.
As you head out along the promenade to the shoreline, you’ll be encompassed by three types of mangrove trees. They are protected and they are an essential piece of the biological community. You’ll cross a scaffold that traverses an estuary which is the living space to heaps of nearby untamed life. Here are two or three interesting and new things to learn.
On the off chance that you appreciate bird watching, then you’ll appreciate the outdoors along the footpath and this shoreline region. You’d see wood storks and Roseate Spoonbills here alongside the typical pelicans, skimmers, Royal Terns, gulls, sandpipers, dowitchers, sanderlings, and egrets. Other interesting animals you’ll spot every now and again are dolphins and if you go seaward and you might become sufficiently fortunate to have an up-close experience with a manatee when the water is warm.
Here’s a neighborhood tip, particularly in the event that you have adolescents along or you are youthful at heart: in the event that you walk north along the shoreline, you’ll go to a shallow channel that isolates Clam Pass Beach Park from the south end of the private shoreline at Pelican Bay. Continue strolling along the shoreline. On the right-hand side, you’ll discover a tree that local children use to dive over the water after they move up on the branches. Beside bunches of fun, this section is normally beautiful and worth the walk around the shoreline.
In the event that you don’t have a shoreline sticker on your windshield, you’ll pay the chaperon $8 at the passageway to the recreation center.
