If you dream of a beachside retirement filled with sunshine and the soothing sound of ocean waves, you’re in good company. For many older adults, a Florida beach retirement is the ultimate goal, offering a balanced blend of relaxation and active living. While buying a condo in Delray or Miami might be tempting, on the opposite coast along the Gulf of Mexico lies Naples, one of the best beach cities to retire.
In this blog, we’ll explore how Naples combines luxurious coastal living, vibrant cultural experiences, and outdoor activities to make retirement dreams come true. And, you’ll discover why The Glenview at Pelican Bay stands out as one of the best beach communities to retire for those seeking it all.
Located on Florida’s southwest coast, Naples is a true gem for retirees and a paradise for beach lovers. With its year-round warm climate, the area is ideal for those looking to escape the cold winters of the north, and embrace outdoor living set against soft white sand and clear turquoise waters.
For retirees who enjoy an active lifestyle, Naples offers world-class golfing, tennis, and boating opportunities, all surrounded by stunning natural beauty. It’s no surprise that Naples is often considered one of the best beaches to retire in the U.S., as it provides both the relaxation of beach life and the excitement of a bustling, sophisticated city.
Beyond the beach, Naples is rich in cultural amenities, with access to Artis—Naples, home of the Naples Philharmonic and The Baker Museum, and upscale shopping at places like Waterside Shops and Fifth Avenue South. And living at The Glenview puts all of this at your doorstep.

Alzheon has reported encouraging results from its Phase 2 trial of ALZ-801, an oral treatment for early Alzheimers disease. The study showed cognitive benefits, a 28% reduction in hippocampal atrophy, and a strong safety profile, particularly for individuals with two copies of the APOE4 gene. With the Phase 3 trial now fully enrolled, topline results are expected in the near future. If successful, ALZ-801 could become the first oral anti-amyloid therapy for high-risk patients. Aqualane is proud to be part of this groundbreaking research and extend our deepest gratitude to all participants whose contributions are shaping the future of Alzheimers treatment.
