It is open 24 hours a day unless it is storming they close the pier gates. There is a box at the very front entrance that you can put your money into.
What are they catching?
Yes you can drive up to the pier. It's open 24 hrs. You pay at the booth. It is $10 for out of state visitors and you drop it in the pay box. They only close the pier if there is a severe storm.
