Beautiful evening sunsets. Very clean pier as was the restrooms. Not crowded with people, very pleasant. Fished on it for hours over three days. Evening time near the shore were a lot of stingrays.

A really nice fishing spot and it looks like the whole area is improving, it is a bit messy. Definitely a worth while trip, especially if you happen to see some dolphins.

We had a great time, the shrimp at the surf club was amazing, and the bluebird of happiness well speaks for himself

Pretty good sized fishing pier, with shade covered benches here and there. This one was pretty crowded with people fishing during our visit. The parking lot is free, but very small, and tends to fill quickly. There are also public restrooms at the beginning of the pier, which are NICE to have while fishing!

The pier is open 24 hours so it is ok to fish overnight. There you can fish for speckled trout, yellow mouth trout, black drum, red bass, flounder, sheepshead, whiting, bluefish and pompano.
