We didn't actually walk down the pier. There is a small fee of about $1.25 per person, more if you wish to fish. Small gift shop. View is beautiful and it looked as if you could possibly access the beach beside the pier if you wanted to do so. More

My daughter and I did not catch anything but others were catching lots of Sheeps head fish. An occasional sport fish was caught as well. More

Best two bucks spent! Quarter-mile stroll [half-mile round trip] and the view of the Gulf and Beach is marvelous! Romantic venue for couples, nice for curious kids or the proverbial fishermen who line the rails daily!! More

All kinds of great people watching here ... folks fishing from the pier were constantly reeling something in, and the beaches on either side were filled with giggling kids splashing in the surf and rousing sand volleyball matches. It's well worth the $1.25 fee to slowly stroll the length of this long, impressive pier and just take it all in. More

I recently stopped by the Pensacola Beach Gulf Pier after moving back to Pensacola after 12 years. First, let me say that since I have lived here last, Pensacola beach has weathered a major hurricane and the BP oil spill and appears to be back stronger than ever. This pier is amazing and Sal and his staff run the pier... More

We like our walk on the pier. We were there 4/8. It was like $1+ for an all day pass. Nice views, and it was fun to watch the fisherman pulling in Reds. For the price its nice to get a different view of the beach and gulf. More

We Love Pier's so this is a no brainer. It's always fun to catch up with the fisherpeople who love the sea, who also seem to be very responsible and are only leaving their foot prints. More

If you want to get in the water, while you can do it very easily anywhere, this is as good a place as any. Nothing special, just amazing water, wonderful beach (sand), and sunshine that goes on...and on... More
