Port Royal is one of the oldest and most exclusive communities in Naples.  Developed in the 1950s and 1960s, Port Royal was created by dredging deep water canals into land located between Naples Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.  While some original homes remain, many of them have been replaced by grander residences ranging in size from 5,000 to 10,000 square feet.  Port Royal home sites have become highly sought after, most with access to deep water canal frontage and boat docks.  Port Royal property owners may join the Port Royal Club which is located on the beach across from the Galleon Drive Port Royal entrance.  Members enjoy its 9 tennis courts, dining facilities and Olympic swimming pool.
