Myrtle Beach Piers-Locations-Prices-Information
Photo above is Myrtle Beach State Park Pier
The Myrtle Beach area offers several piers to walk or fish, so where you stay will probably have a bearing on which pier you use.
Some piers are free to walk; others have a small fee. Most of the piers have a bate shop including fishing equipment on
location, available to rent or purchase.You do NOT need a fishing license to fish from any of our piers. Although I try to keep prices
current, it's a good idea to call ahead and ask.
When are the fish are they running? Scroll to the bottom of this page for Fish Chart by month.
