Tin City, 1200 5th Avenue South, City of Naples, Collier County, Florida, USA
Tin City is a specialty shopping district in Naples, Florida. It is open-air, specializing in antiques and local handmade novelties.
There are four separate buildings. You can buy food, antiques, clothes, seashells, candles, wine, mood rings, and much more.
You can go through one section, end up outside, and then enter another building.
Tin City’s roots date back to the 1920s when the construction of the Seaboard Airline Railroad turned this particular stretch of the Gordon River into a prime spot for clam shelling, oyster processing and boat construction and maintenance.
Fishing businesses thrived here for decades until the 1970s, when the area began to evolve into a marketplace. Seven of the district’s original buildings were transformed into the Old Marine Marketplace, which became the Tin City we know today.
