Entering the pier, you’ll pass through Memorial Waterfront Park, a perfect venue for a family picnic.
The base of the pier is home to a café and gift shop, where you can get your fill of made-to-order sandwiches, ice cream, and refreshing beverages. Between all the swings, picnic tables, and rocking chairs, the pier has plenty of space for relaxation and leisure.
When it comes to wetting your fishing line, you’ll have no shortage of elbow room, either. The pier tackle shop will cover all your bait and tackle needs, as well as rods and reels for rent or sale. Mount Pleasant offers great variety as far as fish species go. Depending on the season, you’ll have Flounder, Cobia, Black Seabass, and Sheepshead to wrestle, with Speckled Trout and Red Drum biting pretty much year-round.
Mount Pleasant Pier is home to the traditional Cast Off Fishing Tournament. With four events scheduled each year, the tournament has become a beloved tradition for local and visiting anglers.
You won’t need a license to fish from the pier, but there is a $5 fee if you want to cast a line. The parking slots at the entrance to the park allow you to park for only 15 minutes at a time. Thankfully, there’s ample parking space within walking distance of the pier.
