Naples Pier
Naples' city landmark, a wooden pier extending about 300 meters into the Gulf of Mexico. At sunset, dolphins and pelicans can often be seen here.
Naples Pier was first built in 1888 as a cargo dock. It has been rebuilt several times after hurricanes, and it is the city's most iconic landmark. Along both sides of the pier is a municipal beach of fine white sand. In the evening, large crowds gather to watch the sunset, and dolphins and pelicans are often seen. Hurricane Ian caused severe damage in 2022, and the pier was rebuilt afterward. Check whether it is open before you go. The pier is free. Street parking nearby is paid by the hour. It's about a 5-minute walk from Third Street South.
