The Neighborhood — History, Character & Design
Park Shore's story begins in the early 1970s when Raymond L. Lutgert and the Lutgert family acquired 760 acres of undeveloped land and set out to build Naples' first master-planned neighborhood from the ground up. The vision was comprehensive: a community with Gulf-front residential towers, Venetian Bay waterfront homes, a dedicated park and beach access point, and a commercial village integrated into the waterfront. The result established the template for luxury neighborhood development in Naples.
Among Park Shore's most historically significant distinctions is Colony Gardens — the first condominium development ever built in Florida. The mid-rise building with private docks established the model for high-density waterfront living that would define the Gulf Shore Boulevard corridor for the next five decades, and over time the Village on Venetian Bay took shape as the neighborhood's social and commercial hub.
Today, Park Shore's Gulf Shore Boulevard corridor is the most diverse beachfront high-rise market in Naples — ranging from vintage towers of the 1970s and 1980s that offer excellent value per square foot to the full-service buildings of the 1990s and 2000s, including Le Rivage, Regent and Aria. No two buildings are alike, and the range of floor plans, building ages, price points, and amenity packages within a single neighborhood gives Park Shore buyers more choice than any comparable beachfront market in Naples. Compare every building side by side, with year built, rental and pet rules and median sale prices, in our guide to Park Shore condo buildings.
The Terraces at Park Shore — one of the neighborhood's most architecturally distinctive Gulf-front buildings.
Park Shore Beach Walk
The Park Shore Beach Walk is one of the most loved features of the neighborhood — a 1.33-mile paved promenade along the Gulf of Mexico, maintained by the Gulfshore Association of Condominiums, providing a continuous pedestrian connection along the beachfront corridor. Fifteen access points from Park Shore beachfront condos connect to the walk, and five dedicated loops near Meridian, Aria, Park Shore Tower, Brittany, and Le Ciel Venetian Tower create a complete running and walking route totaling approximately 5 miles round-trip. For residents of Gulf Shore Boulevard buildings, the Beach Walk is their front yard — a morning jog along the Gulf or an evening walk to watch the sunset from the sand is accessible from the lobby without getting in a car. This is the most distinctive lifestyle feature Park Shore offers that no other Naples neighborhood can replicate at the same scale. Buyers who want to live it before they buy can spend a season in one of our Park Shore vacation rentals.

More About Park Shore
Park Shore Association & Raymond Lutgert Park
The Park Shore Association (PSA) is a voluntary community organization open to all residential property owners within Park Shore — both single-family homeowners and condominium residents. PSA membership provides access to Raymond Lutgert Park, a private beach park for members located at 4061 Gulf Shore Boulevard North at the intersection with Park Shore Drive. The park hosts seasonal community events including the Spring Fling and Easter Egg Hunt. Membership fees are a $500 one-time signup, $300 annual subscription, $150 annual renewal, and $100 voluntary annual dues — a modest cost for private beach access in one of Naples' most desirable locations. Because membership is voluntary and not tied to any mandatory HOA, Park Shore single-family homeowners are not subject to community-wide mandatory fees.
Village Shops on Venetian Bay & Waterside Shops
Village Shops on Venetian Bay — Located on the water's edge of Venetian Bay within Park Shore, the Village Shops is a Mediterranean-inspired waterfront shopping and dining destination with 50+ boutiques, galleries, and restaurants. The Village is also home to Park Shore Marina, offering cruising and fishing boat rentals and bareboat charters — waterfront access and retail in a single stop. Slips on Venetian Bay, including those at the Venetian Bay Yacht Club, are covered on our Park Shore boat slips page. The annual Naples boat festival parade in December draws the community together at the Village for one of the most scenic waterfront events on the Gulf Coast.

Boating in Park Shore
Park Shore's single-family homes line Venetian Bay and Inner Doctors Bay, a protected waterway that runs south through Doctors Bay to the Gulf of Mexico at Doctors Pass, between The Moorings and Coquina Sands. Bayfront and canal-front homes offer private docks on calm water — see Park Shore waterfront homes — and the Village Shops marina provides boat rentals and charters for residents who prefer not to keep a vessel of their own. Condominium owners who want a berth nearby can buy one separately; our Park Shore boat slips page explains how ownership and eligibility work on Venetian Bay. Clearances, water depth and dock specifications vary from street to street, so boating buyers should confirm the route for their specific vessel — contact us and we can confirm these details for any Park Shore home you are considering.
