Very sturdy, just a little sway. Charged 4.00 per person even for 2 year old, 20oz drinks are 3.00 and most items in the store were overpriced. Majority of fishermen were nice some were rude. They have a cleaning station and view finders for 25 cent. The pier offers a place to take awesome pictures and magnificent sites.

The vb fishing pier was host to the @2nd annual coastal edge shoot the pier surf contest last weekend. To be able to view the event from the pier was great. Then there were all the vendors set up on the pier....did I mention the great food at ocean Eddie's ALSO on the pier?

Went in evening. Saw dolphins! Lots of people fishing. Everyone was friendly. It cost $3 per person to go on the Pier. That was a first! Privately owned...who knew? We had dinner and there were a couple of nice souvenir type stores open. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the two homeless guys sleeping on benches on boardwalk right by the Pier.

Do you need a fishing license of any kind to fish

Justin Swortzel | Jul 27, 2020
Jason Hone | Jul 28, 2020

No license needed to fish in saltwater from a licensed pier. You can fish or drop small crabbing nets from the pier. You do have to know some fish, like roundhead mullet, which must be between 12"-18" to keep them. All freshwater and brackish waters require a license. https://mrc.virginia.gov/Regulations/recfishh&l_licensing.shtm#gsc.tab=0
