About Newport Pier

Pier Park sits at the foot of Sunny Isles Boulevard, where the Newport Fishing Pier reaches out over clear green water. Walking the pier is free; anglers pay a small fee. The beach beside it is guarded, with restrooms, showers and a restaurant.

It's an easy beach for a short visit: pay at the meter, swim near the tower, and walk the pier at sunset.
