Visitors can return to Gulf State Park Pier on Monday, Aug. 19GULF SHORES, Ala. (Aug. 16, 2024) – The Gulf State Park Pier will re-open to sightseers and angler
The renovated Gulf State Park Pier re-opened on Monday, Aug. 19 , welcoming people to the iconic Gulf Coast landmark for the first time in more than nine months.
“Visiting the Gulf State Park Pier is almost a rite of passage for anyone who visits Alabama’s beautiful Gulf Coast beaches,” said Chris Blankenship, commissioner of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources . “We are thrilled to have the pier open to the public again. It’s been a long journey to get to this point, and we appreciate the support and patience given to us as the renovation work took place. It’s safe to say the pier is better than it’s ever been.
A majority of the park’s amenities, including the gift shop, restaurant and beach access, re-opened Monday. The pier’s elevated observation deck, located at the octagon on the pier’s south end, remains closed and won’t be accessible to the public until a new elevator is installed to make it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
