Fishing Piers in Montauk

3 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.
