Fishing Piers in Los Angeles

12 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Fishing piers are among the easiest ways to get on the water without a boat - a stable platform out over the surf or a bay, often with railings, benches, lights for night fishing and a bait shop nearby. Many public piers are free to walk and fish, while some municipal and private piers charge a modest daily fishing fee, and a state saltwater or freshwater license may still be required depending on the pier and state. They are a favorite for families and beginners because the access is simple and you can catch a real variety of species right from the deck. The listings here help you find piers by city and state, with what to expect on arrival.

Below are 12 fishing piers listings in Los Angeles, CA, ranked by Google review volume so you can start with the most established options and contact them directly. The most-reviewed is Redondo Beach Pier (4.6★, 27,113 Google reviews).

Typical pricing

FAQ

Fishing Piers in Los Angeles - common questions

How many fishing piers are there in Los Angeles? +
Lure Compass lists 12 listings for fishing piers in Los Angeles, CA.
Who has the best-rated fishing piers in Los Angeles? +
By Google review volume, Redondo Beach Pier is the most-reviewed fishing piers listing in Los Angeles (4.6★, 27,113 reviews). Rankings follow review count, not paid placement.
Do you need a license to fish off a pier? +
It depends on the pier and the state. Some public piers operate under a blanket license that covers everyone fishing from them, while at others each angler needs their own state license. Check the pier operator or your state wildlife agency for the specific rule before you fish.
Are fishing piers free? +
Many public piers are free to fish, but some municipal and privately run piers charge a daily fishing fee, and there may be a separate parking cost. Fees, hours and any license requirement vary by location - confirm with the pier before you go.
What can you catch from a fishing pier? +
That varies by region and season, and pier regulars are usually happy to share what is biting. Reviews and listings here can point you to well-reviewed piers by city and state, but the pier operator or a nearby bait shop is your best source for current conditions and what is running.
How much does a fishing charter cost in Los Angeles? +
Los Angeles charters generally run about $500-$1,500. Half-day nearshore trips for bass and bonito sit at the low end, while full-day and overnight offshore tuna runs, and private six-pack boats, reach the top. Confirm the all-in price and what is included with the operator.
What can you catch fishing out of Los Angeles? +
Nearshore around the kelp you target calico (kelp) bass, sand bass, barracuda and bonito, with yellowtail and white seabass as the prize fish, plus California halibut on the sand flats. Offshore trips chase bluefin and yellowfin tuna. Ask the operator what is biting when you book.
When can you catch tuna offshore from Los Angeles? +
Bluefin and yellowfin tuna are typically a warm-water game from roughly late spring through fall, when captains run overnight and multi-day trips to the offshore banks. Timing shifts year to year with water temperature. Check current reports with the landing before booking a tuna trip.
What is the difference between a half-day and overnight trip here? +
Half-day trips stay nearshore over the kelp and reefs for bass, bonito and halibut. Overnight and multi-day trips run far offshore for tuna and other pelagics. Pick the half-day for a shorter local outing and the overnight when you want a shot at big tuna.
