Naples is roughly 18 miles north of Marco Island. First occupied by the Calusa Indians, Naples was offically settled by Roger Gordon and Joe Wiggins in the late 1860s. It acquired the name of Naples due to the many comparisons it received to Naples, Italy.

Having been rebuilt three times, Naple's T shaped pier goes 600 feet into the Gulf of Mexico. Originally constructed in 1887 by a group of wealthy people from Kentucky. The unique shape of the pier allows big boats easier docking.
