Barefoot Beach
239.591.8596
View Map
Barefoot Beach Preserve County Park is a lengthy stretch of beach with no buildings. There are few Australian pines
left. It appears they were removed as part of the habitat restoration project which removes non-native species. A
few dead pine trees can be seen silhouetted against the clouds. The southern tip of the island faces Wiggins Pass,
which separates Barefoot Beach from Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, another fine beach. In addition to the beach,
there is a nature trail that weaves its way to Wiggins Pass. At the park entrance there is a nature center
sponsored by Friends of Barefoot Beach which has informative displays and information about classes and tours offered to the pubic. |

Naples Pier
239.213.3062
View Map
The Naples Fishing Pier is one of the most popular attractions in Naples, Florida. Originally built in 1888 as a freight and passenger dock, the Naples Pier stands as a community landmark. Narrow gauge train rails spanning the length of the pier transported freight and baggage in the early 1900’s. Part of the structure as well as the post office located on the Naples Pier was razed by fire in 1912. Rebuilt after damage by hurricanes in 1910, 1926 and 1960, it remains a public symbol of the area’s history. The Naples Pier, now over 100 years old is moving into the 21st century, in a big way! Stay tuned, this is going to be good… |
