Pier fishing is one of the easiest—and most popular—ways to fish in Myrtle Beach. You don’t need a license, you don’t need your own gear, and you don’t need experience. Just show up, rent a rod, and start casting.
From iconic oceanfront piers to quieter spots tucked along the southern end of the Grand Strand, there are plenty of places to drop a line. Here’s everything you need to know to plan your day.
WHY CHOOSE PIER FISHING
Pier fishing keeps things simple. Unlike charter trips or surf fishing, everything you need is already on-site.
Most piers offer:
- Rod rentals and bait shops
- Fish cleaning stations
- Food, drinks, and restrooms
- Easy access without needing a boat or advanced planning
Fishing from a pier also puts you over deeper water than the shoreline, increasing your chances of catching a wider variety of fish.
