From the Owners
We've welcomed guests to Pinnacle, Unit 2503 for years, and over that time we've discovered the very best of North Naples. This is our hand-picked guide to the restaurants, shops, and activities we personally love — all just minutes from your front door.
With so much to choose from near The Strand, guests often ask us where to begin. These are the three restaurants and three activities we recommend first, every time — the experiences that make a stay at Pinnacle, Unit 2503 unforgettable.
Our #1 recommendation for guests. Casual, friendly, right on the water at Wiggins Pass — fresh local seafood, live music most evenings, and the best sunset table in North Naples. Go about 45 minutes before sunset and ask for outdoor seating.
The special-occasion pick. Waterfront dining at the La Playa Resort with impeccable Gulf seafood and bay views. This is where we send guests celebrating an anniversary or birthday.
If Italian is on your list, this is the one. Handmade pasta and a romantic courtyard on 5th Avenue South — pair it with an evening stroll down the avenue after dinner.
The easiest perfect beach day. Five minutes from your door, soft white sand, calm water for swimming, and unforgettable sunsets. Arrive before 10 AM in high season for parking.
Our favorite stretch of coastline in all of Naples — a protected, unspoiled barrier island beach with shelling, clear water, and frequent manatee sightings. Pack a cooler and make a morning of it.
A must for golfers. Two Greg Norman-designed championship courses at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, and public tee times are bookable. Home of the PGA Tour's QBE Shootout each December.
North Naples is a dining destination in its own right. From waterfront Gulf-view tables to the buzzing Mercato district just four minutes from the front door, these are the spots we send our own guests to first.
Upscale waterfront dining at the La Playa Resort. Fresh Gulf seafood with breathtaking bay views — a Naples institution for a special night out.
Casual waterfront dining with fresh local seafood, live music, and stunning sunsets over Wiggins Pass. Perfect for a relaxed evening.
Award-winning Northern Italian cuisine on 5th Avenue South. Handmade pasta, an exceptional wine list, and a romantic courtyard.
Elevated coastal dining at the iconic Ritz-Carlton Vanderbilt. Impeccable service, fresh catches, and sweeping Gulf views.
Just minutes away — 20+ restaurants and bars. Home to Cavo Lounge, Sushi Thai, Bleu Provence, and more. Walkable and lively.
Artful, modern sushi and Japanese small plates in the Mercato. A favorite for creative rolls and a great cocktail program.
