This pier is CLOSED and there is nothing standing to fish from. It was destroyed by Hurricane Ian in September 2022 and has not been rebuilt.
Lee County awarded a design contract in 2026, but no construction start date has been announced. Do not plan a trip around it.
For a pier that is actually open nearby, the Matanzas Pass Bridge Fishing Pier is a separate, smaller concrete structure under the Matanzas Pass Bridge and it is open 7 AM to dusk.
Status confirmed against reporting on the rebuild; re-check before assuming any change.
Fishing here requires a valid Florida fishing license unless you qualify for an exemption, see our regulations page. Hours, fees, and access rules change; call ahead or check the official site before visiting.
