NAPLES PIER, a symbol of Naples history
On the beach, two blocks from Third Street South
the Naples Pier extends 1,000 feet into the Gulf.
A Naples landmark, it was built in 1888, during a time when
access to the city was only possible by water.
There was a Post Office located on the pier until 1912, when it was
destroyed by fire.
It is also a major site of the city's 4th of July
and New Year's Eve fireworks display.
Locals and visiting tourists enjoy walking on the pier, admiring
great views, wildlife and fishing.
