Tourist Attractions
- 1 'Tin City'. On the river in 'Downtown Naples: A Naples tradition. Originally a fishing wharf (still used as such) it is now a large collection of shops (all indoor and air-conditioned) selling a wide variety of jewelry, clothing, art and miscellaneous items.
- 2 Naples City Pier. One of the most popular attractions in Naples, Florida! No fishing license is required to cast the line from the pier! The city of Naples pays the 'annual bill' for the costs! Watch the dolphins, snap amazing photos of the sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico! Lots to see and do on the pier!

shop
5th Avenue South is a great shopping area in the center of old Naples. This area is home to unique shops, sidewalk cafes, hotels, galleries, and fine restaurants along palm-lined streets just blocks from the water. Perhaps the only problem here is the lack of convenient parking.
Also nearby is Third Street South, which is home to about 100 fine clothing stores, gift shops, restaurants, and galleries. Along 3rd Ave, parallel to the beach, and starting at the intersection of 8th Street is an area known as Old Naples. This is a cool area with beautiful artwork, sculptures, and fountains to turn to. Mainly there are galleries and a few restaurants. An excellent visual treat so bring your camera and some walking shoes.
