Fishing Piers in Miami

8 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 8 fishing piers listings in Miami, FL, ranked by Google review volume so you can start with the most established options and contact them directly. The most-reviewed is South Pointe Park Pier (4.8★, 8,073 Google reviews).

FAQ

How many fishing piers are there in Miami? +

Who has the best-rated fishing piers in Miami? +
By Google review volume, South Pointe Park Pier is the most-reviewed fishing piers listing in Miami (4.8★, 8,073 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 Miami? +
Most Miami charters run about $500-$1,500 depending on trip length and whether it is shared or private - short reef and drift trips at the low end, full-day offshore private charters at the top. Confirm the all-in price and what is included directly with the operator.
What can you catch on a Miami charter? +
Offshore trips target sailfish, mahi-mahi, tuna and wahoo in the Gulf Stream, reef and wreck trips target snapper and grouper, and inshore Biscayne Bay trips target tarpon and bonefish. Ask each operator which trip fits the species you want.
Do I need a fishing license on a Miami charter? +
Licensed charter operators in Florida typically cover passengers under their vessel license, so you usually do not need your own - but confirm with the operator when you book.
Where do Miami fishing charters depart from? +
Most run from Haulover Marina, Miami Beach Marina and the Bayside area. The ranked list below covers the metro by review volume and rating.
