Parking at Bayview Park for Keewaydin shelling tours is limited. Arrive early, carpool, or use ride-shares. Paid park spots and street parking nearby; plan ahead to avoid hassles.

Most Keewaydin shelling boat tours launch from Bayview Park (near downtown Naples), located at:

1575 Danford Street, Naples, FL 34112

🚨 Parking is EXTREMELY limited! 🚨

We highly recommend carpooling, taking a taxi/Uber, or arranging a drop-off at the park to avoid parking issues.

A general rule of thumb: if the skies are gray or rainy, you’ll have no problem finding a parking spot. But if it’s a gorgeous sunny day, plan to Uber—parking fills up fast on those picture-perfect days.

- Arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled launch time to ensure you find parking.

- Parking is $10 and paid via your phone—no app needed. Your payment covers 24 hours, and you can even pre-pay up to a week in advance. Just follow the signage when you arrive.

- If main parking area is full you may have to utilize street parking outside the park on Danford Street or possibly Hamilton Avenue (a long walk to the park).

- If main parking area is full and street parking is full or too far, my best recommendation would be to park at a nearby plaza and uber from there:

Publix at the Shops at Hammock Cove (4370 Thomasson Dr, Naples, FL 34112). This is 3.0 miles from Bayview Park. (Safest option.)
McDonald's at the GulfGate Plaza (2886 Tamiami Trail E., Naples, FL 34112). This is 2.8 miles from Bayview Park. (Kinda sketchy.)
