This is a nice, quiet spot to take a walk in the evenings. Close to the parking lot. Not a long pier, so it is a quick walk.

It is a good pier to fish from. It is wide and not crowded. Mostly locals. It is a good place to just enjoy the Bay and all the pelicans and birds.

There are lots of lights for night fishing and plenty of room for lots of folks. I have not seen it over crowded. The Island usually has good weather for fishing. I do not recommend pier fishing on windy days.

Almost as soon as we got out there one of the children in our party said they spotted a Dolphin and sure enough, it was one. We spent almost 45 minutes chasing the Dolphin up and... More

We watched the fireworks from here, pretty far away but nice fishing pier. Lots of room to fish, and music at the bar area.

You can walk along the pier & see the replica of an old pirate ship called The Black Dragon & take a cruise on it. People fish from the pier & there are cleaning stations to clean your catch.
