Clam Pass Park is the North Naples beach reached by boardwalk from a parking lot, and it comes up in searches from people who want to know what it costs and whether they can bring a rod. This post sticks to what Collier County Parks & Recreation publishes (retrieved October 2026).
The county lists the park at 465 Seagate Drive, Naples, FL 34103. Hours are “Open Year-Round, 6 a.m. to Sunset.” Under guest information the page says “$10 Pay to Park fee without Collier County Resident Beach Parking Permit.” Payment is by credit card. The fee applies to anyone without the county’s resident permit, which the county issues free to Collier residents with proof of residency (Collier County Parks, Beach Parking Information page).
The page says the park “preserves that habitat by providing beach access from a three-quarter-mile boardwalk to the sandy beach,” and that “Parking is available for a fee, or you can take the tram for free.” The amenities list includes a free tram to the beach, restrooms, foot showers, bike racks, a CAT bus stop, a beach wheelchair, a life jacket loaner program and a restaurant. The park is 35 acres.
Anyone carrying a rod, cooler and chairs should plan for the boardwalk walk or the tram. The page does not give tram hours or whether the tram carries fishing gear.
The county states “No Dogs Permitted.”
No. The page does not mention fishing, bait or rules for it, so we cannot tell you it is allowed or banned. Call the county before you plan a trip around casting from the beach.
eRegulations lists the resident “Annual Saltwater Shoreline License” at $0.00 and says it “Covers saltwater fishing only from shorelines and attached structures accessible by foot.” It does not cover fishing from a watercraft or “a shoreline reached by watercraft.” A walk down the boardwalk fits the first case. The same page lists a resident annual saltwater license at $17.00, and non-resident options of $17.00 for three days, $30.00 for seven days and $47.00 for a year. Residents 65 and older with proof of age and residency are exempt, as are youth under 16. Our license guide and over-65 post go deeper.
The county page notes that the Conservancy of Southwest Florida offers guided nature walks Monday through Saturday from December to April.
Fees and hours change. Confirm on the county page or by phone at 239.252.4000.
