Getting to the ramp
From Naples take US-41 East to CR-92 (San Marco Rd), follow it toward Marco Island and turn left on Goodland Dr, then right onto Palm Point Dr — the park is at 750 Palm Point Dr, at the end by the water. About 35 minutes from Old Naples, 15 from Marco Island and an hour from Bonita Springs.
Parking
Free village lot at the park with room for trailers. Goodland is genuinely small, so the streets are narrow and the speed limit is taken seriously.
