Gulf Shores - Orange Beach - State Park Pier
The long awaited pier, under construction since the wipe-out of the old pier by Hurricane Ivan in 2004, is open for strolling and fishing.
The Alabama State Parks division is responsible for the Fishing Pier. The old pier was destroyed in September 2004 and it took years to clean it up and negotiate with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to get the permit to build the pier longer than it originally was. The State Pier was completed and opened for business in July, 2009. This magnificent concrete structure is now the longest fishing pier located in along the entire Gulf of Mexico.
This massive structure is an engineering marvel and is over 1/4 mile long or 1,540 feet.
This State Pier is managed by the State Parks Division. This fishing pier offers all of the comforts that a pier should have.
