The Matlacha fishing pier sits inside Lee County’s Matlacha Park and Boat Ramp at 4577 Pine Island Road N.W., Matlacha, FL 33993. The county lists hours of “5 a.m. to 9 p.m.” and parking at “$10/day” with “No overnight parking” (Lee County Parks & Recreation, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026). The page does not give separate pier hours, a pier length or a rod limit.
The county news line reads: “Amenities at the park include restrooms, fishing pier, boat ramp, kayak launch, and pavilions of various sizes.” The amenity list also shows Boat Ramp, Pier/Dock, Bird Watching, Fishing, Jogging/Walking Path, Pavilion, Playground, Restrooms and Viewing Areas.
The county parking page lists the Matlacha Boat Ramp lot at 4577 Pine Island Rd. at “$10 per day,” Monday to Sunday. The ramp page says the Lee County Parks & Recreation Annual Parking Pass is valid at this location. It describes the launch as “A two slip boat launching facility with 30 parking slots for vehicles with boat trailers.” The pages do not say whether a fee applies to someone who only walks to the pier from the lot, so plan on paying. Our Lee County ramp and parking fees page lists the other ramps, and our Matlacha boat ramp post covers the launch itself.
The page says: “Entrance and exit gates to the park are active as of July 6, 2026. Please use caution when entering and exiting the facility.” It also carries a notice that the park and ramp would close “temporarily Monday, May 11, through Wednesday, May 13, for resurfacing work.” That notice gives no year, so check the page before you go.
The county says: “A Saltwater Fishing License is required to saltwater fish from shore. There is no fee for Florida residents.” Our license guide covers the options.
