    Photography

    A great place for photography. Especially anyone interested in night time photo's. The ability to shoot spectacular moon shots from and around the pier will hook your camera addiction.

    Lovely place to (watch people) fish

    Didn't fish here but watched others, and that was enjoyable. Peaceful, relaxing, not crowded, and right by the "beach" (partly sandy, partly rocky). Also, parking is close by, and street-parking is free. Saw a jellyfish, and saw a guy reel in a catfish.

    Fishing spot

    Easy access, close parking and great place to cast your rod. Fish were not biting well this week. The view is always great.

    Beautiful view of the beach!

    Nice walk to view the River and beach! See fisherman and all sorts of fish and eels but need to be careful with those throwing their lines.
