Fishing

Let's start with the fishing. Getting back to the rustic ambiance and appeal to the Gulf of Mexico is fantastic fishing. Residents can get yearly or monthly passes, daily fishing for less than $10, and you can even rent a rod and all the equipment needed right there on the pier. It is one of the best-equipped and most attractive fishing piers in Florida. The on-site fishing facility features daily weather conditions, shaded covered pavilions, security systems, rental equipment, a bait and tackle shop, snack bar, annual fishing tournaments, telescopes for beach viewing, sightseeing, and on-site restrooms. Plus, you don't need a fishing license for the pier as it carries a blanket fishing license for everyone. And, whatever you catch is all yours.
