    Great 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.

    Walk 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!

    Great pier
    This 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.

    Inexpensive and beautiful
    inexpensive to walk the pier, rent a fishing rod, and buy bait. Beautiful view from the pier and great way to watch the sunset. Saw red fish, shark and a sea turtle during a couple hours.

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.
