    Pelican Bay and Bay Colony, Naples: Community Guide

    All Neighborhoods

    Pelican Bay is a master-planned community in Naples, Collier County. The Pelican Bay Foundation, which describes itself as the master homeowners association, publishes its address as The Commons, 6251 Pelican Bay Boulevard, Naples, FL 34108. The foundation says the master developer was WCI.

    Pelican Bay at a glance

    The foundation says the area was called Clam Bay and was renamed Pelican Bay in 1974, and that WCI was the master developer. The foundation's published address is The Commons, 6251 Pelican Bay Boulevard, Naples, FL 34108. The wider area is covered in the North Naples neighborhood guide.

    Beaches and restaurants

    The foundation says the beaches stretch nearly 3 miles and names Marker 36 and Sandbar as dining on the Gulf. The beaches page says the beaches are open from 9 a.m. to sunset. Beach access is a foundation amenity, so the resale documents are the place to confirm who may use it.

    Neighborhoods and home types

    Condominiums

    Bay Colony's site describes condominium communities inside Pelican Bay. The foundation pages reviewed do not publish a community-wide building count, so this page does not invent one. Condominium milestone inspections and reserves are covered in the Florida condo laws post, which is the piece to read instead of a restatement here.

    Villas

    Bay Colony's site lists villas among its residences.

    Single-family and estate homes

    Bay Colony's site lists estate homes and residential neighborhoods. Other Pelican Bay sections were not inventoried on the foundation pages reviewed.

    Bay Colony

    Bay Colony Community Association describes Bay Colony as a community in Naples' Pelican Bay, with its own association, a staffed entry, a beach club, and a tennis club. It says golf club membership is something a resident may pursue, which is not the same sentence as a purchase requirement. Ask the Bay Colony association which fees are mandatory. This page does not publish a dollar amount.

    Pelican Bay Foundation and fees to check

    The foundation is the master association for the common areas, including the beaches it describes. A home inside Pelican Bay can also sit in a neighborhood association, and Bay Colony has its own. Read both sets of documents and the Collier County tax bill. This page does not publish a dollar amount. Collier County condominium practice is not the same packet as a Lee County CDD, so use the Collier bill in front of you.

    Flood zones and insurance

    Flood zone is assigned to the parcel. Gulf-front and inland parcels inside the same community can differ. This page does not state a zone for Pelican Bay or for Bay Colony.
