The public water access point located on Collier Boulevard just north of the Marco Island bridge is one of the most popular in Collier County. The access has ample boating parking, but does tend to become crowded during season (Jan - April). Parks & Recreation recommends arriving early during season. The Collier Boulevard Boating Park is located on the East side of Collier Boulevard and has two ramps for launching water vessels.
The park does not sell fuel, but is one of the most popular boat launch access points because of its easy access to Marco Island and the Snook Inn restaurant, which boaters love to frequent.
On 4/18/11 , we were informed that this ramp has been overhauled and has better dockage and more parking.
Bayview Park's 4 acres are located at the end of Danford Street off Thomasson Drive. Enjoy the million-dollar views of Naples Bay, a waterway shared by the homes in downtown Naples' Port Royal. Bayview Park becomes very busy on the weekends, so it is recommended for boaters to arrive early on the weekends.
