Pier Fishing in Myrtle Beach

The Myrtle Beach area offers visitors plenty of great pier fishing to enjoy during your vacation. Within Myrtle Beach, several area piers including the Myrtle Beach State Park Pier, Second Avenue Pier and Apache Pier are great spots to cast a line and try to land local fish like black drum, mackerel, flounder, pompano and even barracuda!

Don't have your own rod and reel? No problem! At Second Avenue Pier and Apache Pier you can visit their tackle shop to rent a fully-prepped kit and load up on bait to lure in a big catch. You can also visit other piers in the area, like Cherry Grove Pier in North Myrtle Beach (where a 1,780 lb tiger shark was once caught) or the Pier at Garden City south of Myrtle Beach. A fishing license is not required to fish off any of the Myrtle Beach-area piers, so everyone is welcome to try their skill!

Offshore Fishing Charters Around Myrtle Beach

If you're feeling more adventurous and are searching for even bigger catches than those available off a pier, then you should look into booking an offshore fishing charter!
