Pelican Bay, FL

Pelican Bay is a small census-designated community in northwestern Collier County, part of the Naples-Marco Island metro area. It sits in North Naples, just south of Naples Park and west of Pine Ridge, with U.S. Route 41 on the east side, Vanderbilt Beach Road to the north, and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. The result is a compact coastal place whose appeal is mostly about location: close to Naples, close to the beach, and firmly tied to the Gulf side of Southwest Florida.
