Manager's Message

Welcome to summer at Wiggins. It will be very dry until we get some rain, so we ask you to be extra careful when grilling. Summer can bring some unpredictable weather like thunderstorms so please seek shelter in your vehicle or a bath house until it passes.

If you're a shell hunter or a fisherperson it is a great time to hit the beach or back waters. Snook will be spawning in the pass and storms will bring big waves. Please don't forget some type of sun protection and drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. The days are long and perfect for a picnic and a spectacular sunset. 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.
