It was neat to look at the beach from that vantage point. Tons of people fishing and reeling in fish. Saw some dolphins up close. The cigar minnows that congregate under the pier are fun to watch, their are thousands schooling there. I think we even saw a couple of sharks circling around the pillars. Worth the two bucks. Just... More

This is one of our two favorite piers on the Gulf for fishing - we try to find out the tide schedule and what fish people are getting. We got lucky one year and ran into a school of "blues" - wow! You could not pull them in fast enough! More

This is the pier that comes out beside the Boardwalk and the Gulfarium. The restaurant as you go in seemed decent but we did not eat there. We started walking the pier about 7:30 at night. By the time we got to the end I was a bit nervous because the crowd was somewhat rowdy and started messing with our... More

A short walk to the end of the pier, where you can see for miles. You can check out all the fish as you walk along the pier. A real relaxing place - bring a pole to see what you can catch or a book to read and take in the sun . More

The pier goes out from a restaurant, so you can walk out about 50 feet. Then you have to pay $2 to walk the rest of the pier More

The pier is a great inexpensive way to spend a couple of hours. If you don`t have the means to charter a boat then $2 bucks will get you on the water. For $6 bucks bring your own gear and do some fishing. We love being on the water and seeing what get`s pulled up next More
