Fishing from the pier is $6 a day for anyone over six, and $3 for children, people 65 and over, active military and disabled visitors; watching without a rod is $3. A bait and tackle shop and a seasonal drink stand. Restrooms, and mobility mats down to the sand. The pier is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Parking is $2 an hour or $12 for the day, cashless, card only, with kiosks that turn cash into a prepaid card. Bay County residents can apply for a free annual permit.
