Fishing piers are one of the simplest ways to tap into serious saltwater action—no boat required. Whether you’re casting for redfish off a Florida landmark, dropping lines for halibut in California, or just enjoying the view from a historic boardwalk, these piers connect anglers to big-water opportunities and vibrant local scenes. Some are quiet, tucked-away gems, while others double as bustling attractions filled with food, music, and nightlife. Here are 11 of the very best fishing piers across the United States, where the fish are biting and the atmosphere is unbeatable.
