What Travellers Say
"Great pier with great prices. Family friendly with an arcade and fishing from the pier. You can rent or buy any fishing equipment you need there. They also have some decent food and options. Bar had good happy hour prices and friendly knowledgeable bartenders. People on dock were very friendly and some regulars were there that caught some awesome catch and helped out."
Taylor Smith
"We visited this pier 3 separate days during our vacation. Twice on two of those days. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Having a bar on site was nice for drinks and snacks. Everything was reasonably priced especially in comparison to other local piers. The boys enjoyed endless hours of fishing while the girls enjoyed playing on the beach nearby and in the on site arcade."
Tiffany Wells
"We had so much fun fishing off the pier that we visited two days in a row! The sunset was gorgeous. We saw HUGE mantarays in the water. The ray in the picture probably had and 8-10 foot wide wingspan, it was phenomenal. The pier has great snacks and everything you need for a a day of fishing. David was so helpful! ;)"
