Turned our kids loose and felt safe letting them roam at night. Lots of shops and even an arcade and a famous wooden play park. Adventure rides like zip line and euro bingo jump tastefully added into existing fisher style village A lagoon meanders thru the village. Adults can frequent restaurants that turn “only over 21” at 10 pm

We were on the pier every day of our visit. It was $4 for everyone except fisherman which cost $7. My husband and son went out morning and night and caught some fish to bring home. My daughter and I went out to visit them. The price added up but if you want to just walk out once to see, it is well worth it. We did notice that around sunset the pier became very busy so avoid that time of the day unless the sunset is what you are after.

(Prices below!) My son and I went down here to fish for a couple of hours and didn’t have any gear with us. You can easily rent a basic rod and reel rig and a cart(if needed), buy bait, and buy things like tackle, a knife, pair of pliers, beverages, ice, styrofoam coolers, nets, etc. They need to make a copy of your license to rent you equipment. Parking is free and ample! There is a $6 per person charge to go on the pier to fish. They give you an armband that is good for the day. Costs to rent rod and reel are $12 up to 6 hours. A cart is $10 up to 6 hours. If you want to marathon fish, you can get a rod and reel for $25 and a cart for $15 from 6-24 hours. Bait is $4.50 to $5 a box. They have shrimp, squid, cigar minnows, finger mullet, and sand fleas. There is also a good selection of artificial bait. The staff at the store was helpful and friendly. They give recommendations on bait and will help you rig your gear if needed. Now, all that said, we didn’t catch a darn thing. But, that is how fishing works sometimes! We still had a good time hanging out. The more serious fishermen at the end of the pier seemed to be having a little better luck, but not too much when we were there. If you got any good info or useful tips from this review, please give me a helpful vote! Thanks for reading!
