# Midtown / Park Shore: e-bike riding guide (Naples Electric Bikes) > Clam Pass, Venetian Bay, Pelican Bay, and quiet beach roads in the heart of coastal Naples. Canonical page: https://www.napleselectricbikes.com/where-to-ride/midtown-park-shore Written by Kelly Carr, published 2020-08-23, updated 2026-10-10. Park Shore, The Moorings, and Pelican Bay make up the stretch of coast between downtown and North Naples, and it's made for riding: calm residential streets, bridges over the bays with water views, and some of the best beach and shopping stops in town. Skip US 41 and the whole area unlocks. ## At a glance - Good for: Beach paths, Dining stops, Quiet streets - Distance from our base: Inside our delivery zone - Best bike: RadKick, easy to park at Venetian Village - Average ride time: 45 min - 2 hours - Best time of year: Year-round; best Oct - May - Terrain: Flat throughout, with gentle bridge rises over the bays. - Traffic: Low on the residential streets; avoid US 41 and Pine Ridge Rd. - Bike lanes: Bike lanes on Gulf Shore Blvd N, Harbour Dr, Mooring Line Dr, and Crayton Rd south of Harbour Dr; shared-lane markings on Crayton north of Harbour. - Surface: Paved roads.

Gulf Shore Boulevard North runs along the beach side, Crayton Road runs parallel inland, and three bridges over Moorings Bay and Venetian Bay tie them together with some of the best water views in Naples. Pelican Bay anchors the north end with wide, calm boulevards linking Clam Pass, Waterside Shops, and Artis Naples. Two sets of rules apply here. Park Shore and The Moorings are inside the City of Naples, where e-bikes stay on the street and in bike lanes, not on sidewalks, shared-use paths, or in city parks. Pelican Bay, Clam Pass, and Waterside Shops are in unincorporated Collier County, where sidewalk riding is allowed at up to 15 mph. ## Getting around Doctors Pass Gulf Shore Boulevard North is split in two by Doctors Pass, the inlet between the Gulf and Moorings Bay. **Heading north:** follow Gulf Shore Blvd N until it ends near Mooring Line Drive, turn right over the Mooring Line Drive bridge, left on Crayton Road for about half a mile, then left over the Harbour Drive bridge to pick up the northern section of Gulf Shore Blvd N. **Heading south:** reverse it. Harbour Drive east, Crayton Road south, then Mooring Line Drive west. The detour adds a little over a mile, and both bridges have bike lanes and great views. ## The Clam Pass experience Clam Pass Park is a three-quarter-mile boardwalk through the protected Clam Bay mangrove estuary to a wide, quiet beach. Lock up at the racks near the tram stop, then walk the boardwalk or ride the free open-air tram. The boardwalk itself is walk-only. From December through April, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida leads **free guided nature walks** of the beach, boardwalk, and back bay, Monday through Saturday. Reservations are required; check the Conservancy's site for times. ## Insider tips The Village Shops on Venetian Bay straddle Park Shore Drive, with bike racks on both sides and a pedestrian underpass beneath the bridge to connect them. Walk the bike through. The **North Gulfshore Beach Access** sits at the very north end of Gulf Shore Blvd N, where bollards block through traffic to Seagate Drive. Bikes and people on foot pass; cars don't. Walk the last stretch of the beach path. The Naples Grande Beach Resort is closed for a full renovation through the end of 2026, but its beachfront restaurant, Rhode's End, and the Clam Pass beach services remain open. ## Where you can ride an e-bike here > This area crosses two sets of rules: > > - **City of Naples** (Park Shore, The Moorings, Venetian Village, Lowdermilk Park): no e-bikes on sidewalks, shared-use paths, or in city parks unless signs say otherwise.
