Gulf State Park Fishing Pier was reconstructed in the wake of its demolition by 2004’s Hurricane Ivan and offers brand-new features such as an indoor concession seating area, a retail tackle shop, and wheelchair-accessible rail fishing opportunities.

The 1,540-foot pier offers more than 2,400 feet of fishing space, making it the Gulf of Mexico’s largest public pier.

Comfort stations are offered along the pier’s mid-section, and fishing licenses are available for purchase on site.

Other amenities include a souvenir shop and signs detailing the area’s native fish and wildlife. Children under the age of 11 may use the pier for free with paying adult admission.

Address: Gulf State Park Fishing Pier, 20800 E Beach Blvd, Gulf Shores, AL 36542
