Editorial Review for The Pier – by Jen Robbins
The Appeal
Explore diverse marine environments and get wet with hands-on exhibits at the Pier Aquarium. You can also take a cruise, rent a jet ski or just drink in the sun and sights. Get out your wallet, though, because the Pier gives you plenty of reasons to spend money. Everything from racy bikinis to Florida-inspired art pieces and unusual jewelry can be found for sale as you stroll along.
Features
In the mood for a quick bite? The Dockside Eatery, located on the first floor, is the perfect spot to score casual, quick eats. Also on the first level, Captain Al's serves up casual seafood, a covered patio and an outdoor bar. If you're looking for a high-end experience, the Columbia offers a serene view and romantic ambience. Cha Cha Coconuts, ensconced on the top floor, features casual Floribbean fare, frosty, frothy cocktails and live entertainment.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoIt's quite a trek from the parking area to the end of the pier, so hop on one of the pastel Loopers that make the rounds a few times an hour.

The reviews listed here are really out-dated. With a new management companyjthat has turned this place around, this is THE SPOT TO BE! New colors, restaurants and a food court that is inviting, there is always something to do! We rented an electric boat and went around the Bay, then toured the Aquraium on the second floor. They have great new exhibits that are fun for kids too! We ate at Cha Cha Coconuts on the top floor and had a beautiful view of the city, and great food- their burgers are wonderful!
Pros: cool trolleys, friendly staff, FREE!!!!
Cons: not enough valet spac

You can't have a bad time at The Pier. From the wonderful views to the outstanding shops and music, it is a happening place. Take time to explore the Aquarium or take a trip on the Trolley or the Duck! Make it your focal point for a day (and night's ) entertainment.
