Fishing off of Surfside Pier
The Surfside pier allows visitors to go fishing without boarding a boat. It's also a place for strolling; a walk out to the end of the pier and back is a nice. After all, it's a sand-free alternative to a walk at the beach. Originally built in the 1950's, the Surfside pier has been rebuilt three times due to hurricane damage. Fishing passes are available on a daily, weekly and annual basis. The pier office also rents fishing equipment with no reservation required.
