Thread: Pier fishing fees

Is there somewhere -in print- where I can see what the pier fishing fees are? daily/weekly/monthly? I've got family coming. I have my 6 month pass so I am good, but wondering for my visitors.
Why can't they come out with a monthly walking pass?

That’s a good question about the monthly walking pass. If they have one, I’ve never heard of it. I also haven’t seen anything in print about the different passes but they are listed on the website https://www.alapark.com/parks/gulf-s...education-pier

Pier Access Fees:
The pier is open 24 hours per day. Please use our honor box system to pay fishing and sightseeing fees when staff are not on site.

All day parking: Daily anglers who pay the daily parking fee also receive one daily pier fishing permit. The paid parking terminal will dispense one receipt with instructions to tear off the bottom half and present it to the attendant at the pier admission window.
