FAQs

When is the best time to go?


The pier is especially busy during the summer, on weekends and holidays, when it often stays open later (until midnight). The evening hours can get crowded with young revelers, so if you are looking for a quieter experience, head to the pier earlier in the day. The fireworks show takes place every Wednesday and Saturday night in the summer.

How should I dress?


Dress casually, and be sure to wear walking shoes. If you tend to get chilly, bring an extra layer in case the pier is breezy.
