Open 7 AM to dusk daily and free to fish. A small free parking lot sits on the mainland side and spaces are limited.
Snook, tarpon, mangrove snapper and jack crevalle hold on the bridge pilings and the current line.
This is a separate, smaller concrete pier under the Matanzas Pass Bridge, not the destroyed Fort Myers Beach pier, with sections on both the mainland and Fort Myers Beach sides.
A Florida saltwater fishing license is required; check FWC for the shoreline-angler resident exemption before assuming it applies to you.
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.
