Pensacola Beach Fishing Pier Will Reopen Saturday Following Temporary Repairs
June 25, 2021
The Pensacola Beach Fishing Pier on Casino Beach will reopen to the public on Saturday at 6 a.m. The pier will be open daily from 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The 1,471-foot Gulf-side fishing pier was significantly damaged from Hurricane Sally last September and has been closed while the county worked with FEMA. After an onsite meeting with FEMA representatives, the county received approval to move forward with temporary repairs in June, and those repairs are now complete.
“I’d like to thank Escambia County public works and parks and recreation personnel for working so quickly to make these temporary repairs once we received approval from FEMA to move forward,” said Chairman and District 4 County Commissioner Robert Bender. “With the Pensacola Bay Bridge recently reopening, I’m ecstatic that there is easier access to this amenity for folks to enjoy on Pensacola Beach.”

@Lee, I am thankful that they worried about the more pressing issue’s first. Hey y’all the three mile is open!!!
Lee, you seem to be confused as to how slow government works. You are in the United States where government, especially the federal government is shockingly slow, methodical and has tons of red tape.
Anytime its money, aid, relief, ect, it’s never a quick process, especially PIER. This is a recreational site. They are usually last to be considered.
Being upset at this fact is like being upset at ducks crossing the road. Lol
Why did it take this long to repair the pier. Please don’t tell me FEMA wouldn’t have approved repairs a day after Sally hit. There’s something fishy going on with the process.
