We weren't there when the pier was open. It is a very small Pier with a store but we didn't get to go inside it closes at 5 pm. If you do go on the Sunset Cruise use the bathroom before and I would recommend bringing something to eat and drink. We met up at Merry Pier for the Sunset Cruise. We enjoyed that Sunset Cruise if you have the chance I would recommend you take it. The captain was very good at explaining everything and he was very funny also and it made the trip even more wonderful. It was only $25 a person. an hour and a half and like I said to bring food and drinks we didn't think we would be hungry till we saw everyone with their (pizza)food and drinks.

There are no words that could explain the beauty and tranquility of this amazing place. Water tours (Must go to Shellkey), Deep Sea Fishing, Great Restaurants and last but not least right next to the Beach!! Go there!! You will not be disappointed.

Drove from Oklahoma on our honeymoon in October 2020 and probably one of my favorite places we stopped. Definitely worth the trip, especially if you go on the shell key shuttle.

If you have your fishing license it is free to fish. We almost always have live shrimp for $3 a dozen and several types of frozen bait. We also rent rods if you need on.

Why not start a fishing report for the pier so people like myself who lives 85 miles away will know whether to drive that far

We post updates on the Merry Pier Facebook page from time to time. Fishing changes daily depending on wind conditions, tides and weather. A report would not be a guarantee of what you might catch on any given day.

We talked to a local that fishes there about every weekend and he was telling us about all the different species they catch there. Once you are done fishing you can walk a block over to the beach, shops, and restaurants.
