Welcome to The Moorings / Coquina Sands
Prestigious neighborhoods nestled along the beach
Just north of Downtown Naples, Coquina Sands and The Moorings are a tight-knit pair of beachfront communities. Their lush, winding streets give way to pristine beaches that are never packed. The outdoors beckons residents with delightful weather and all manner of things to do while enjoying the sun.
Coquina Sands is named after the broken shells that were originally used to make the roads. It was first envisioned as a place where vacationers could come and enjoy the mild winter weather, and it exceeded expectations as it was developed. Now it is more than just a vacation home - it’s a place where residents enjoy friendly neighbors and white sands all year round.
Both neighborhoods offer a delightful variety of residences, from expansive single-family homes to luxury condos. The waterfront properties are a huge draw, but there are beautiful homes as you journey farther from the beach as well. No matter where you buy, there is a beach and a country club waiting for you just around the corner.
What to Love
- Abundant golf courses nearby
- Pristine beaches

Local Lifestyle
Mooring and Coquina Sands are distinguished communities that lack the bustling atmosphere of their southern neighbors. There is a tranquil, spacious feeling in the area, and not just because the neighborhoods are bordered by beaches on one side and numerous country clubs on the other. Many families find their way here for the tight-knit community and great school districts.

Residents have access to the vibrant shopping of Downtown Naples and the quaint Village at Venetian Bay to the north, but these well-established neighborhoods are full of delicious fare and easily accessible shopping close to home.
