A quiet pier to fish with planety of restaurants and bars to choose from to unwind. The fishing is decent and the view of sailboats is a very nice touch to the scenery of the aqua blue-green water. The pier is currently under repairs at this time, but I am hopeful it will only help the safety overall. You can catch everything from baby sharks to mangrove snapper. There is no fishing allowed on the adjacent boat docks, so this is it! Have fun!

Great area, clean and well lit. Plenty of people fishing using live bait. Catching grouper, flounder, sheephead and snapper . People are super nice for the most part. LGBTQ friendly

Great spot to hang and take in the day. We biked the Pinellas trail and wanted to see what was happening in one of our favorite spots. Hung out and enjoyed the local scene after confinement.

I would suggest that one refrain from swimming, but the view is quite nice, and; one is in the seat of Gulfport commerce. So, there is plenty to do between beach naps. Have lunch at Neptunes or Pias. Get a drink at Saltys. Walk around and people-watch.

Pretty place. Could hear the music from the bars and watch the sunset as I fished. A couple caught a catfish but I got skunked. Its alright though, nice atmosphere. Definitely busy though. Would not suggest it for serious fishing.

Beautiful view of Boca Circa Bay. Great for sunrise/sunset viewing. Havent fished off the pier, but fishermen Ive spoken with say mullet, trout good fishing. Ive seen lots of rays, dolphin, & manatees from the pier.Youre just off the main streets of Gulfport where theres lots of action, good food, fun pubs, great novelty stores. If youre on the pier, youre in Paradise and a step away from Heaven.

NIce pier, room for fishing, several species of fish can be caught here. However, the public boating pier is about 50 feet away and the boaters who anchor in the bay come in regularly, especially around breakfast time, lunch and dinner. The problem is that many are thinking only of themselves. They will come in under the pier, right through your fishing lines. they cut the corner and come within 10 feet of the pier on the deep water side. This morning alone, I had to quickly pull my line in three times as boaters who were anchored out brought their skiffs in right through my lines. Additionally Mommy and me yoga class comes out on the pier and blares their music as they do yoga on the fishing pier. Many walkers, runners, bikers, etc also are all over the pier, causing you to be extremely careful with casts. Basically, this is NOT a fishing pier, it is a public pier that you can fish from. Keep that in mind and you will do okay!

A nice small pier to walk down and take photographs facing both the city of Gulfport and the water views. It always reminds me of Old Florida and the perspective looking back onto the casino is well worth the walk.

The fishing is always great for my husband and I. We catch black top shark, cat fish, ladyfish, trout, lizard fish, plenty of pinfish and grunts, the occasional puffers, and some people have even caught flounder here as well. There are lights under the pier for night fishing too. Its always very clean and has plenty of trash cans so it can stay that way. The view is really pretty at sunset too. The nearby bars/restaurants are also really good. (I like OMaddys best personally.)
