Apache Pier Reviews

Trip Advisor Review Page

Jean H From Tripadvisor shares

“If you like the water, fishing, bird watching, or people watching, this place has it all! Apache Pier is the longest wooden pier on the Atlantic coast. It is several yards above the water’s surface, which is another unique feature. We stayed at Apache Pier RV Campground, so we received free admission tickets for every day of our stay.

We decided to try our luck fishing. Being RV renters, we also got a discount on fishing gear rentals and in 4 1/2 hours caught three little whiting fish – not the best day we’ve had fishing, but the great setting offset the lousy fishing.

You can tell who the regulars are and who the rookies are (us!); as we were setting up our poles to cast off, a neighboring fisherman told us to close up our shrimp container or the birds would steal our bait! In addition to pelicans and seagulls, the boat-tailed grackles and rusty blackbirds kept a close watch on our bait containers.

We went home without any fish, giving our catch to other fishers or throwing them back, but it was still a pleasant day on the water.”
