About Jax Pier
The Jacksonville Beach Pier was designed not only to serve the recreational needs of area residents and visitors but also to withstand the worst that the Atlantic Ocean can dish out. At 1,320 feet, the new pier is 303 feet longer than its predecessor which was 997 feet in length and approximately 16 feet wide.The new pier, which is handicapped accessible, features a 20-foot wide wooden deck, several fish cleaning stations, a concession area, bait shop, and restrooms. The wooden deck area branches into a 48 x 31-foot terminal T-platform at the seaward end.
