Fishing

Pensacola Beach Gulf Pier. The 1,471-foot-long pier touts itself as "the most friendly pier around." It hosts serious anglers who find everything they'll need here—from pole rentals to bait—to land that big one, but those looking to catch only a beautiful sunset are welcome, too. Check the pier's website for the latest reports on what's biting. 41 Fort Pickens Rd., Pensacola Beach, Florida, 32561. 850/934–7200; www.fishpensacolabeachpier.com. $8 fishers; $2 observers 1 trip, $3 all-day pass.
