Skyway Fishing Pier State Park

The park features two extensive fishing piers stretching from both north and south sides into Tampa Bay, offering continuous access to saltwater fishing spots.

After a freighter collision destroyed the original Sunshine Skyway Bridge in 1980, its remaining structure was converted into fishing piers in 1994.

The piers welcome anglers throughout the day and night, making it a central gathering point for fishing enthusiasts from across Florida and beyond.

Visitors can purchase bait, fishing supplies, snacks, and drinks at the on-site shop, with vehicle access costing 4 dollars plus 4 dollars per adult.

The repurposed bridge sections form the longest fishing pier system in the world, providing multiple vantage points over Tampa Bay.
