Charlotte County Fishing Piers: Which Pages Say Closed

By Eric Vincent · October 14, 2026

Most of Charlotte County’s named fishing piers say they are closed. This is what each county page said when retrieved in October 2026, so check the page again before a trip.

Pages that say closed

  • Ainger Creek Park, 2011 Placida Road, Englewood: “The fishing piers at Ainger Creek Park are closed.” The park also lists a boat ramp.
  • Anger Fishing Pier, 1385 Beach Road, Englewood: “Anger Fishing Pier remains closed.”
  • Boca Grande Fishing Pier, 5810 Gasparilla Road, Gasparilla Island: “Boca Grande fishing pier remains closed.”
  • Placida Fishing Pier, 13120 Pier Road, Placida: “Placida Fishing Pier remains closed.”
  • El Jobean Fishing Pier, Garden Road at River Beach Drive, El Jobean: “El Jobean Fishing Pier remains closed.”

No closure notice

Centennial Fishing Pier, 14021 Gasparilla Road, Placida, shows an address, a phone number of 941.681.3742 and an amenity list of Fishing, Fishing Pier and Restroom/Portable Toilet. The page has no closure notice in the text retrieved. Silence on a county page is not a reopening notice, so call before you drive out. El Jobean Boat Ramp, 4224 El Jobean Road, also shows no closure notice.

Hours

The county’s facility hours PDF lists each of these parks at 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. It also shows a 24 Hours entry in the fishing pier column for Ainger Creek, Anger, Boca Grande and Placida. A listed hour on the sheet does not override a closed notice on the park page.

Where to look next

Our Boca Grande pier page follows that pier’s status, and the Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte pier guide covers open options. License details are in the license guide.
