Holden Beach Fishing Pier, Holden Beach

The pier itself could use some general rehab but it appears to be privately owned and I'm not sure the $1 access fee ($12 if you fish) will cover it. But it is a great addition to the beach. You should go. It provides good views and a pleasant diversion to the otherwise overly relaxing atmosphere that Holden Beach promotes. The restaurant at the entrance to the pier could make a killing if it was redone and provided a good assortment of food. As it stands I'm not sure it is even functional.

It costs $1 per person to walk out on the pier. I gladly payed it just to see the views. The entrance to the pier(where you pay) is slightly on the sketchy side but it's nice to just stroll out on the pier, watch the people fishing and just take in the views and sit for a while. Would I do it again if I'm at Holden Beach? Probably not....but for a one time thing, pony up the $1 per person and go for it.
