An historic part of Naples, the pier was where the mail and goods were shipped to our brave, beach loving settlers in the early days. Nice for a sunset viewing or some early morning fishing. 6 miles.

This restaurant has served great food consistently for decades. Don’t miss a wedge salad with any of their homemade dressings. Simple, fresh and a great value. If you like fried.. we recommend the seafood platter for two (served during dinner hours only). It’s fantastic!
