Children that are not taller than the counter height can walk on the pier for free. The guy was nice and told my son that was about 6 inches too tall to duck lol. There is a small bar and I saw they had beer but not sure what else. There are arcade games as well with a small selection of prizes. The pier itself has parts that need replacing. My daughter tripped on one of the old damaged boards and cut her hand so be careful. Seemed to be a great fishing spot with many catching stuff. It says $10 to park for beach but pier goers are free; I suggests having a least one person pay admission because it's far cheaper that route.
