Brandy Melville Fifth Avenue Shopping Guide: Hours, Parking, and Must-Know Tips
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Finding a parking spot directly along Fifth Avenue South during peak lunch and dinner hours is notoriously difficult. Curbside parallel parking along the main drag is strictly regulated, frequently occupied, and difficult to reverse into when traffic is thick. Experienced visitors bypass street parking entirely in favor of municipal garages.
The City of Naples maintains two well-lit, clean, and free parking garages within short walking distance of the store. Choosing the correct structure saves significant circling time.
| Parking Option | Distance to Store | Cost & Availability | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4th Avenue South Garage (8th St S) | 1 to 2 blocks north | Free; high turnover | Quick trips, morning visits, shaded parking. |
| 6th Avenue South Garage (8th St S) | 2 blocks south | Free; multistory capacity | Weekend afternoons and busy dinner-rush periods. |
| Fifth Avenue Street Stalls | Immediate curbside | Free; strictly limited spaces | Off-peak morning stops before 11:00 AM. |
| Side Street Angled Parking (3rd to 8th Sts) | Half-block walk | Free; moderate turnover | Early afternoon shoppers avoiding parking decks. |
Walking from either garage takes less than four minutes. Both routes take you along well-shaded brick sidewalks past gelaterias and coffee shops, making the walk pleasant even during warm Florida afternoons.
