We went here based on reviews and were not disappointed. We saw a pelican just sitting on the pier side almost like he was waiting on someone to take a picture with him, which we all did. We saw someone catch a small shark which they have to cut loose by law and saw a bunch of manta rays. It... More

Cool place to watch all the fishing going on and the beach! There is a small fee but it is worth it. Good place for kids.

Covered shelter area as you enter the pier, relaxing atmosphere.. folks were doing some serious fishing there too.

We saw four black tipped sharks, a sea turtle, a speckled sea trout, a mackerel, and tons of other birds and fish. The tour with the park representative... More
