If you’re looking for a marvelous example of a tangerine-colored Florida sunrise, Juno Beach Pier is one of the greats. However, you’ll be delighted to know that apart from a sight-seeing and fishing attraction, this particular pier has made positive strides in environmental conservation efforts. A long-standing icon of northern Palm Beach County, the Juno Beach Pier is an upstanding member of the Responsible Pier Initiative to make an impact on marine conservation. Since Loggerhead Marinelife Center attained management in 2014, efforts were amplified to not only protect local sea turtle populations and other marinelife, but to provide amenities such as morning beach yoga, an expanded concessions and angling retail shop, and a responsible atmosphere for anglers and pier-goers.
Among 36,433 anglers and 71,312 visitors in 2017, Juno Beach Pier’s efforts contributed to 112 miles of fishing line and 14,238 glass/tin items being recycled. Visitors and residents from around the globe can enjoy catching mangrove snapper on sardines early in the morning while feeling good that 49 sea turtles have been rescued due to their small $4 admission fee. If you’re bringing the kids fishing under 12-years-old, the fee is only $2, and if you’d just like to relax in the salt air or check out what the anglers are reeling in, the spectator fee drops to $1.
The Juno Beach Pier is located at 14775 U.S. Highway 1, Juno Beach, FL 33408.
