Naples is an unincorporated area in Santa Barbara County, California, United States on the south portion of the Gaviota Coast.[2] Also known as Dos Pueblos Ranch, it is located on U.S. Highway 101 5.9 miles (9.5 km) west-northwest of Isla Vista.[3]

Dos Pueblos refers to two Chumash villages that existed when in 1542 explorer Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo wrote about seeing them.[4] The villages of Kuya'mu and Mikiw were across the creek from each other.[5] A subdivision map was filed to create a community but the parcels were not developed.[6][7]
