The pier is a popular site for fishing and strolling. You can access Sport Fishing at the end of the pier, as well as a snack stand and bait shop.
The original pier was built in 1915 at a location known as Devil's Gate for an offshore rock below the bluff. The new concrete pier opened in 1967, east of the old wooden pier, which remained until after construction.
The pier has a snack bar on the ground floor and lifeguard offices and a restaurant on the second floor. There is also a bait shop and a parking lot.
Yes, the pier is undergoing a renovation, starting with under-pier structural repairs this spring, followed by pier surface work and parking lot rebuilding in the fall. This will allow visitors to enjoy the facility during the summer.
The pier was renamed in 2001 to honor local veterans, and a memorial was designed on the pier's west wing with flags for all military branches, and an obelisk with the military oath. Some benches and medallions have been installed to commemorate significant battles and honor individual veterans.
