- chute_mike75 contributionsGreat RV parking.We visit in our class C Winnabego. There were 3 large size handicap space that would take my RV. The wife love taking picture on the pier. There is a $2.35 day pass charge to walk onto the pier. It opens at sun rise and there is no parking charge. There are several eating establishments within easy walking distance. It did really didn’t get crowded until after lunch. Our visit was in mid march. Beautiful white sand.Visited March 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 15 March 2023
- fruitl88pRichland Center, Wisconsin84 contributionsWalk the planks...While pricer than I expected (like $2.50 a person), the pass to walk the pier does last all day. It would be wise to go multiple times. The pier wasn't in the greatest condition considering the fees to walk i.e. big gaps between planks in some places. Overall it's still a great activity to do while in the area. Beautiful views. We saw a school of fish with 8-12 sharks trying to get a meal!Visited March 2023Written 6 April 2023
- harryh409Crestview, Florida386 contributionsGreat pierThis pier is very long and wide. Because of the structure of concrete and some wood planks it holds up very well in the Gulf storms. It was $2.50 just to walk the pier and take in the ocean view and plenty of people were fishing. It is a great way to get in a little exercise and see the beach from the water side.Visited May 2023Written 29 May 2023

The pier is nice to walk on and see the sea life. It is also to go fishing on. They had lots of people fishing when we went.

Day pass required for walking the pier. Funds go back to maintenance. Good views, some people fishing. Lots of free parking and easy access to beach.

It was fun to walk down the pier and see what everyone was catching. One fisherman was catching a lot of squid.

Don’t Miss the pier! It is a Pensacola Beach icon. Nice stroll even for the young at heart. You can hope to spy a dolphin jumping! Lots of people to watch here. Take time to enjoy the beauty of God’ earth!

Walked across the pier to see if any dolphins were out swimming. We did not see any at the time. But it was a good walk.

Where to park

There is plenty of parking at Casino beach. The pier is right there.
How far of a walk is it from parking to the water?

one can see the gulf from the parking lot along with several fine restaurants around the parking lot, and there are showers for washing off the salt water along with restrooms.

When we were there many personal hammocks were hung under the pier. I didn't ask anyone but it appeared to be a first come first grab issue.
