The Venice Municipal Fishing Pier has partially reopened to the public this morning, Thursday, Nov. 21, following repairs from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. A structural engineer has authorized opening the pier past the bait shop to the second fish-cleaning station. A temporary fence has been installed and citizens are urged to follow the posted signage.
There will be periodic closures of the pier access before noon as the City and Sharky’s work to complete remaining repairs and accommodate the restaurant’s ongoing renovation construction work.
This partial reopening gives anglers and visitors access to the majority of the pier while more extensive repairs are made to the T end of the structure. The repairs to the end of the pier are expected to take several months to complete and the City appreciates everyone’s patience as we work to recover from the recent storms.
