Melbourne Beach Pier

Melbourne Beach Pier is a wooden structure dating to the late 1800s that extends over the Indian River Lagoon at the corner of Ocean Avenue and Riverside Drive. Built from wooden planks and pilings, the pier remains an open walkway offering views of the water and surrounding landscape to all who visit.

The Melbourne and Atlantic Railroad Company built the pier in 1889, extending it from Ocean Avenue and Riverside Drive onto the Indian River. On April 12, 1984, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

The pier was built by the Melbourne and Atlantic Railroad Company, and its 1984 listing on the National Register of Historic Places recognised that railroad origin. Visitors can find the pier where Ocean Avenue meets Riverside Drive, extending onto the Indian River.

The pier is located at the corner of Ocean Avenue and Riverside Drive in central Melbourne Beach and remains accessible year-round. A nearby park called Ryckman Park provides picnic tables and playground equipment, making the area convenient for families and visitors of all kinds.

The pier was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on April 12, 1984, which is why it is listed as a historic place today. It stands at the corner of Ocean Avenue and Riverside Drive, where it extends onto the Indian River.
