Manager's Message
The month of September brings in the beginning of fall on the 22nd. September 1 opens up snook season here along the Gulf coast. The mornings and evenings are just a bit cooler even though the days are still very warm. Fall is the best time of the year to visit us. Fishing is great, weather is good and we just seem to be a bit quieter with school back in swing. Check out our web site for programs and other activities before you stop in for a visit.

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.
