Manager's Message

Fall will soon be here. Hurricane season is with us until the end of October and the Gulf's waters will remain warm until then. The stingrays are taking advantage of the warm waters and plentiful, so I suggest everyone do the stingray shuffle while wading the shallow waters. If you are a fisherperson remember Snook season opened up September 1st and this is a fine place to fish for them at Wiggins Pass.

These are the best days to visit the park while the crowds are low and the weather is mild. I hope to see you soon.

Welcome to Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park

One of the most popular seashore destinations in Naples, this park's mile-long stretch of white sugar sand has been rated as one of the best beaches in the nation. The beach is popular for sunbathing, swimming, beachcombing, snorkeling, and picnicking. Fishing at the beach along Wiggins Pass, where swimming is not allowed, is another popular activity. For saltwater or freshwater fishing, boaters can launch their vessels into Water Turkey Bay and travel to the Gulf or up the Cocohatchee River. Kayakers can enjoy paddling through estuaries; scuba divers can explore the hard bottom reef in the Gulf. At the north end of the island, a tower gives visitors a bird's-eye view of Wiggins Pass and the surrounding coastal habitat. NOTE: To avoid overcrowding during the busy winter season, the park closes its gates when it reaches maximum capacity. Located in North Naples five miles west of I-75-exit 111.
