The Turtle Club
A beachfront restaurant on Vanderbilt Beach where you can dig your toes in the sand and watch the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico. It is a classic dinner spot in Naples.
Opened in 1999 inside the Vanderbilt Beach resort, with beach tables or indoor seating. The menu focuses on fresh seafood and steaks, and weekly specials blend Mediterranean, Caribbean, Asian, and Southern American flavors. The signature is the Shrimp and Crab Napoleon. Sunset is the busiest time, and reservations are essential in peak season (winter and spring). Diners generally find the views outstanding but the prices high. It is about a 20-minute drive from Old Naples, and high heels are not advised.
