THE PIER TODAY
That story is a favorite for Mike
Robertson, who purchased the pier
from his father in 1984. Mike hasn’t
counted the number of fish, but
he and his son, Paul, have begun
estimating the number of visitors
annually — a challenging task since
the pier is open 24 hours a day from
Good Friday to the Sunday after
Thanksgiving.
“Realistically, I’d say we get over a
million visitors,” Mike says.
One factor in the popularity is that
it’s free to stroll out on the pier and
take in the sights.
“I’ve never understood why fishing
piers charge to walk on them. It’s just
too Yankee, taxing everything,” Mike
says with a laugh. “People come here
for that reason, just to be able to walk
out here. A lot of people can just sit
and look at the ocean, enjoy the sun,
talk, socialize.”
Mike estimates the pier has suffered
total and partial destruction 33 times
