<strong>Naples</strong> Pier<br />
By: Gillian Birch<br />
Just down the street from Palm<br />
Cottage, <strong>Naples</strong> Oldest House, is an<br />
even older structure—<strong>Naples</strong> Pier.<br />
Built in 1888 at the end of 12th Avenue South, the pier was an essential part of settling and developing <strong>Naples</strong> as building<br />
materials and supplies all came by boat to the area.<br />
The <strong>Naples</strong> Pier is very easy to reach from Gulf Shore Blvd. South or 12th Avenue South where there are plenty of parking<br />
spaces. It is also within easy walking distance from the shops and restaurants on Third Street South and 5th Avenue South<br />
in <strong>Do</strong>wntown <strong>Naples</strong>.<br />
<strong>Naples</strong> Pier Amenities<br />
The <strong>Naples</strong> Pier stretches out 1,000 feet into the Gulf of Mexico. Ideal for a breezy stroll, the pier’s modern amenities include<br />
restrooms and a concession stand halfway along selling bait, food, and beach supplies. The concession is open from 9 a.m.<br />
to 5 p.m., so don’t be caught off guard if you arrive for an evening’s fishing.<br />
Nearby, on the 10-mile-long Municipal Beach, there are volleyball nets and a very unique feature. You’ll find a stand of<br />
child-size lifejackets available for free loan to keep youngsters safe as they play in the surf. Simply borrow one, then return<br />
it at the end of your visit.<br />

Fishing Tips from<br />
<strong>Naples</strong> Pier<br />
Fishing from the <strong>Naples</strong> Pier makes it a<br />
popular gathering place in all seasons.<br />
It’s worth noting that fishing enthusiasts<br />
do not need a fishing license to<br />
fish from the pier as it has a bulk fishing<br />
license covering all users.<br />
Even non-fishing enthusiasts can<br />
enjoy the pier as it is the perfect place<br />
to enjoy a brilliant Florida sunset over<br />
the Gulf. It has become a popular<br />
gathering place for locals and <strong>visitor</strong>s<br />
at the end of each sunny day.<br />
Hang out over the rails and keep an<br />
eye out for dolphins that often make<br />
their way along the shore in families.<br />
You can spot their top fins and arched<br />
backs as they move through the waves<br />
parallel to the shore.<br />
There’s truly something for everyone<br />
at the <strong>Naples</strong> Pier.<br />
