Staff is really helpful - great for novices and fun to even just watch down at the end when the old pros bring in a big one! Small fee to walk the pier, you can buy a day fishing pass to fish off of the pier.

Down at the far west end, this is where the intercoastal waterway meets ocean. The back end is calmer and great for kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming.
