Venice Fishing-Pier

They say it’s a fishing pier, though as a visitors guide, I just refer to it as the Venice Pier for short. There were the usual anglers seen at the rails fishing and some just sitting back while their poles were anchored down in holders. I’m not sure if anyone was making a catch while I walked by, tho noticed lots of people strolling past, as they appeared to be checking out the views and the activity of those fishing! With all due respect, locals may not want the crowds of visitors from the famous Venice Boardwalk to head down yonder en masse. I’d also not want to have to drive a tourbus in the very limited space available to turn around or have to park before the pier. In essence, the use of the pier and beach are a local amenity, with local beach and restaurant guests able to add the pier to their time spent here. A local lifeguard tower is situated on the pier, as they’re looking out for the safety of swimmers and surfers. The attendant can also relay problems and call for back-up with their local fire department and the police as necessary. There’s a large prepaid parking lot available with a public restroom at the foot of the pier. Street parking may be available as per signage at metered spaces.
