I fish here all the time; usually at the end for Spanish Mackrel later in the season. During the summer, you can usually catch bottom fish, Flounder, Spot, Croacker, Trout and small Blue Fish. Thanks for repairing the damage done by Sandy; I saw lots of my local friends back to their old spots on the Pier. Check out the... More

I remember coming here as a kid and having fun. Took my kid last year and wont return. Dirty and most of the games are not working. Not a place I would want to be at after dark. This year looked for beach houses not close to the pier

Have been to this pier and rented everything needed to fish. The employees there are very helpful and point you in the right direction to catch fish.

The native fishermen seem to love this place. We enjoyed our visit here last fall, but were unable to visit this spring due to damage from Hurricane Sandy. The good news is that all repair work has been completed and it's open again. Enjoyed watching the fishermen bring up the day's catch!

The best part of this pier is that you can catch fish. It was damaged by the last hurricane in 2012 and cut in half but repairs are underway and should be opened again in 2013. The worst part of the pier is the horrible and noisy video games in the front part of the building that take away all... More

So its a long pier lined and packed with local fisherman. Its entertaining to watch them pull in one large trout after another (an amazing amount of fish caught), watch the seagulls flocking around and see up and down the beach. Its $1 to walk out on it. At the beginning of the pier is a large indoor arcade. The... More

It is an original fishing pier with an old school arcade which we liked! It did cost $1.00 per person to walk on. Not sure how I feel about having to pay to walk on a pier. Guess i see how they would need to charge. We went on it during hurricane Sandy Oct 2012. It was an amazing view.... More

We wanted to check the place out before we tried fishing the next day. They looked at us like we were alien invaders when I asked how it worked. Most of the video games were broken and a bunch of drunks were hanging out around the pool tables. I'm a biker and I like scummy, this was pretty bad.

Nice place to have fun for the entire family. Go fishing, play in the arcade and enjoy something to snack on all in one place. And don't forget it's right on the beautiful Atlantic Ocean.
