I love going to this pier for fishing. It is located about 30 minutes away at the end of Pine Island. They rent fishing equipment and you don't need a license to fish there. Live bait is available on the pier. The pier has a shaded sitting area, cleaning station and restrooms. At the end of the pier is a small restaurant & bar.
