Newport Fishing Pier

The heart-of-the-beach landmark that first opened in 1936 as the original Sunny Isles Pier, then took years of hurricane damage — most of it delivered by Wilma in 2005 — before the old wooden structure was demolished in 2012. The current 776-foot concrete pier reopened in 2013 with hurricane-rated construction, rod holders spaced along the rails, fish-cleaning stations, and line-recycling bins. A bait-and-tackle shop and the casual Beach Bar sit at the pier's landward end beside the Newport Beachside Resort. Local anglers work the deeper T-end for snook, Spanish mackerel, and pompano; sunrise on an outgoing tide is the sweet spot.

What to order

$2 to walk on, $5 to fish (no state license needed from a public pier); rods, bait, and tackle are sold at the on-site shop. Metered parking in the adjacent Pier Park lot is enforced 24/7 — bring the ParkMobile app or quarters.
