The Best Beachfront Restaurants and Bars in Naples, Florida
The short answer
Our favorite casual spot on the beach is Sunset Bar at Naples Beach Club, a Four Seasons Resort, 7 minutes from downtown. Close behind are The Turtle Club on Vanderbilt Beach and Gumbo Limbo at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples.
For a higher-end meal by the water, book HB's, the seafood restaurant at the same Four Seasons.
Naples faces west over the Gulf of Mexico, so a beachfront table at sunset is the best seat in town. These are the Gulfshore team's picks. Every one is open as of October 2026.
Best casual beachfront: Sunset Bar
Sunset Bar
Our favorite casual spot on the sand. It's the beach bar at the new Four Seasons, with Latin-influenced bites and tropical cocktails at golden hour. The name is a nod to the beach hotel that stood here before the resort opened in late 2025.
