I always have an amazing time when pier fishing. This location provided the poles, sells all the bait, and it very knowledgeable to maximize your fish catching. large parking lot close by with pay meters. caught lots of different fish, and there were locals catching sharks which were fun to see. The pier has lights so you can fish after dark as well. to rent the pole, and pay the pier fishing fee, it was about 14.00 for 6 hours, give or take. We had some beers and food at the bar at the end of the pier, and had an amazing time while on vacation.
