"Enjoy the view from a quarter mile ocean pier!" Top 5 Page for this destination Beach Tip by noidiotsplease

Beach, Jacksonville: 12 reviews and 26 photos

For decades fishermen flocked to the old Jacksonville Beach Pier. After the weathered wooden pier suffered extensive damage due to the effects of a hurricane out at sea, a longer, stronger pier was recently built to replace it. While this new pier is an obvious attraction for fishermen, it's also a must see for any pedestrian with an appreciation for unique views. Walk out to the end of the pier -- one quarter of a mile out to sea -- and behold the spectacular views of ambitious surfers, the sandy coastline and the colorful highrises that line Jacksonville Beach. While the pier does not have a restaurant of its own, it is but a short walk from the many diverse culinary offerings of the Seawalk area.
