The Collier County Historical Museum displays ancient Indian civilizations and the rustic life of trading posts and early settlements. The museum preserves and interprets history, archaeology and development within a 5-acre park. Discovery Cottage, a restored 1926 Naples home saved from demolition, showcases early family life. The Logging Locomotive's Steam Engine # 2, circa 1910 from the Baldwin Locomotive Works, recalls Collier's cypress-logging industry and other treasures.

Immokalee Pioneer Museum is a 15-acre site that tells the story of cattle ranching, one of the region's oldest industries, and portrays daily life on an authentic early 20th century pioneer homestead.
The Naples Fishing Pier is one of the most popular attractions in Naples. The 1,000-foot pier is a wonderful experience any time of day and remains Florida's longest no-fee pier, attracting anglers, strollers, and sunset watchers, along with pelicans and dolphins. Once the sun goes down, a moonlit stroll is wonderfully romantic with balmy breezes, starry skies and gentle waves. Originally built in 1888 as a freight and passenger dock, the Naples Pier stands as a community landmark and fishing is permitted off the pier. Cruise Naples any day of the year (from morning until sunset), from Tin City in downtown Naples for a variety of adventures including sightseeing areas viewable only by boat, dolphin watching, sunset watching, deep sea and calm water fishing and shelling, or plan a charter cruise of your own design. You're sure to enjoy a two-hour romantic sunset cruise, or a weeklong adventure along Florida's southwest coast or the Florida Keys. Check with Island Sailing for more information. Or jump on the Naples or Marco Island Princess to see the multimillion-dollar homes of Port Royal or sail into the Gulf of Mexico. Both vessels offer daily sightseeing, lunch, sunset hors d'oeuvres, and sunset dinner cruises.
Naples' old Florida charm and character blend with modern, upscale style to create some of the most beautiful, master-planned communities for families and retirees. The climate, dining and shopping, cultural attractions, and beautiful beaches combine to offer a wonderful lifestyle with you in mind.
