The Pier at Garden City
The Pier at Garden City is the perfect location to cast your line. Just a short trip away from your vacation rental in Garden City, this pier provides you with the opportunity for a bird’s eye view of the water while you fish. If an ice-cold beer is as you wait for a bite, this is the place to go (there are no alcoholic beverages allowed on the beach). Take in the views of the Grand Strand and all of the beachgoers frolicking below you (you may even spot a shark or two). There is a tackle shop, arcade, and café inside.
Remember: Purchase your fishing license online before your visit!
