Oh my! Well worth my money! We saw sea turtles, small sharks and the best moment was a dolphin came by and stole a man's fish on the line. He played with it right in front of us. It was a nice Pier with lots of seating. We went early morning on a Wednesday. Thanks Pensacola! You're awesome!

Great place to chat with fisherman about their catches, the beracuda and the lady fish, and watch the shoreline. With a small fee charge, it is ceryainly worthwhile

Sugary sands and crystal clear water. One of my favorite beaches in the US. I prefer the beaches in the gulf coast to the ones on the east coast of Florida. Lesser crowds and cleaner beaches. The pier provides some great photo opportunities with the panaromic view of the Pensacola skyline. We visited the beach during sunset and it is spectacular. There is a small admission fee (about $5 for 2 people) to get there and it's more than worth that amount.

The water in the ocean is very transparent. The beach is clean with white sand. There is a public big parking lot by the beach. Facilities like showers and restrooms are available between the beach and the parking lot which is very convenient.

Can you camp in your car at this location? Just for a night

Catalina Glass | Jun 4, 2019
Jeff Clark | Jun 5, 2019

No. You can camp at Fort Pickens which is only a few miles East. It does cost but it is well worth it as they do have security patrols. It is also in a National Seashore Park.

Jason Nguyen | Jun 3, 2020
Joe Six | Jun 4, 2020

Resident saltwater anglers who fish from shore or a structure affixed to shore will need a shoreline fishing license unless they have a regular saltwater fishing license, persons with disabilities fishing license, other combo license or are exempt. Non resident saltwater licenses are available in 3 day and 7 days. But yes, a state fishing license is required to fish from pier, shore, or boat.

If you're walking away from the pier ramp, you'll see the police station on your left. Take a right and walk about 300 ft. On your right, the restrooms are in the Pensacola Beach Public Safety Building.
