Merry Pier is a fabulous place just to chill out, watch the fishermen, chat with the locals, chase Pelicans.. the whole deal. We loved the entire Pass-a-Grill area and the people are the best.

We went with Offshore Hustler for a fishing trip from this pier. Pete and Cody were great! Definitely worth the money!

I fished from the pier near Merry Pier. It is a very clean bait, tackle, trip booking and snack shop. The restrooms sparkle and open to the public. THe lady attendant was new to the job but brimming with smiles and enthusiasm for her job. If you want to pier fish they have bait and tackle. They also run a... More

The guy at the store was just plain rude!! The trip was enjoyable and we even caught sum fish! The Captain and the First Mate were both great! If you can get past the guy in the store all will be ok

We walked around this area and observed the end of a fishing contest with children. The younger kids would get a kick out of this...fishing, pelicans, smelly fishermen. We didn't stay long.

On our last day in Florida for spring break we went to the Merry Pier for some fishing. The rain started shortly after our arrival but did not dissuade us. Caught lots of fish and had a great time. $2 rain ponchos worth every penny. Everyone at the Merry Pier were exceedingly friendly and helpful in all things related to... More

we saw dolphins from the pier before we even left, so they left a little early to take us closer. they apparently have to have a minimum to leave - we were the last 2 to make it happen apparently, so they took our number in case anyone cancelled it sounded like they wouldn't go. seems to be a married...

Merry Pier now has fresh seafood you can take home and prepare. Usually a god selection but it goes by the season. Bring a cooler, land your catch and grab some ice.

This is a great spot to pier fish, also the shell key shuttle & Miss Pass-a-Grill (great deal). If you are serious about fishing go fishing with OffShorehustler
