This is a little bit longer pier than the one in Pensacola. It offers a goos prospedtive for tourist to go out over the Gulf of Mexico and peer into the deeper water than they are afforded ffrom shore. They seem to have a very good trade in fishermen, especially during the Ling season, which is now. In all it... More

My husband fishes there regularly and had heard that this pier was the friendliest one around the area and that has surely proved to be true. I often take a hike out there and pay my entry fee of $2.00 and stroll out, take pictures of the pelicans and herons and yak it up with the locals. It's worth every... More

I have met people from as far away as Michigan who vacation in Gulf Shores just to fish this pier. The fishing here IS that good.

I don't even fish, but it is great to watch what other people are reeling in. Also, on a good day when the water is clear, it is amazing what you can see; schools of rays, dolphins, sharks, jellyfish, game fish, you name it.

So, my daughter likes fishing and she was very impressed with this place. She plans on bringing her fishing gear back the next time we visit Gulf Shores. This is a must do if you are looking for some fill in time between beach and dinner or want to see some really cool birds!

Just enjoyed walking up and down the pier and watching the pelicans and fisherman. Even saw one guy real in a pretty big shark.

Great place to wet a hook or like me just carry the grandkids and let thwm soak it in. Beautiful scenery and enjoyed watching various anglers at their craft. Time was well spent and enjoyed by all.

The views are beautiful from the pier. Everyone was fishing so it gave us a chance to see the Pelicans up close :) We didn't fish so it was a quick stroll up and down then back down the beach to our condo. The people were nice, telling us how they've caught sharks and such..no one caught anything huge while... More
