Longest Pier in North America

While there is a fee if you want to fish, we were allowed to walk the pier for free and take pictures (the end of the pier is reserved for fishing only). There are scenic view coin machines for a closer look at Chesapeake Bay and the wildlife. There's also an attached bar and grill.
