An open-air marketplace of local artisans and small businesses operates under a solar-roof structure steps from the bay. Not a pure farm market, but a great place to pair with Saturday Morning Market for locally made pantry goods and gifts.

The area is a picturesque destination, featuring an assortment of restaurants, quick bites, and dessert options. The scenery is remarkably stunning and gorgeous. A splash pad offers fun for kids and kids at heart. Ample seating areas are provided. The trolley service runs every 15 minutes, ensuring easy transportation. Fishing is allowed at the pier's end, and gift shops are available. A weekend market adds to the area's allure.

I’ve been here many times before on sunny days, but we had the fun experience of watching a storm roll in from the end of the pier - it was so cool! Make no mistake, the walk down the pier is a LONG one. If you have kiddos or lots of cargo, consider taking the free tram or bringing a wagon! The pier is a great spot to fish from and there are lots of views to enjoy. Plus there is a bait shop, overhanging areas that provide shade on sunny days, and tiered concrete steps to sit down on if you don’t have your own chairs. All in all, the pier is a lovely place to visit, with plenty of sights and activities leading up to the end - a playground, restaurants, art, and more! Definitely make time for a visit if you haven’t before.

Love it here. What made my experience worth the trip was getting to know the small business vendors who operate every Friday-Sunday. My favorite was Hammam Chic, a Turkish family-run business that sell the most jaw-dropping robes and towels I’ve come across. The patterns are so unique and they also have hand painted designs. I love that everything is handwoven with organic cotton. If you are looking for authentic, high quality Turkish robes and towels, I highly recommend stopping by their booth on weekends.

This is a must visit place if you’re traveling. We walked from the beginning of the pier all the way to the end. At the end, there is a place where you can fish, I saw some people there. They also have a table with running water for you to clean the fish. They also have a restaurant on top pier Teaki. This is a very beautiful place.

A very beautiful pier with a great view of the ocean. There are many public toilets and some kind of fountain array for the kids. Parking is also manageable with 2.5$ an hour. I would definitely come here again, it's a perfect break from all the trouble and you can just have a nice walk to the pier.

A mix of serenity and activity. Had so much fun celebrating the 4th of July. Good crowd, good events and great views. Although its a long walk to reach the end of the pier, the views along the way will just make up for it.

You do have to pay for parking. And if you want to enter the little museum/shop. It’s part of a rescue. There’s tons of very good restaurants. If you’re looking for a pier to go out over the water, like typical Florida pier this one isn’t like that. I think there’s a different one somewhere. Or it may be part of this one. It was huge.

Awesome place!! Parking ridiculously difficult to find even at 9 pm! Tram ride to the very end of the pier was efficient. Every 10 minutes or so. Visited all of it at night and then again during the day. Both times were terrific! Even celebrated a birthday dinner at midnight at Cassie’s. Claudia, the waitress, was simply wonderful!! Her pic is enclosed. She even did a solo birthday song. She is patient, kind, helpful and beautiful. The other restaurants at the very end of the pier, like Tiki, range from usual to rather expensive, price wise, but still worth visiting. Live music added to the ambience. Extravagant views all over. See pics.
