Fishing enthusiasts holding annual passes for the St. Johns County Ocean and Fishing Pier are being thrown a lifeline, so to speak, by the St. Johns County Parks and Recreation Department. With the pier currently inaccessible due to beach renourishment work by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of an effort to restore St. Augustine Beach, pass-holders are left high and dry, but it won't be a financial sinkhole, according to the St. Johns County.
The department is offering to extend passes for each month the pier is closed, so anglers can keep fishing without losing out once the pier reopens. They’re showing they care about local recreation and customer service. While we wait for the sand to settle and the pier to become accessible again, pass-holders can relax knowing they won’t miss out, thanks to the county's Parks and Recreation Department, as stated by the St. Johns County.
Interested or affected pier-pass possessors should direct their queries to the St. Johns County Beach Services hotline at (904) 209-0331, or via email at [email protected], for details on extension policies or updates about the renourishment project, check the county's official communication. If you enjoy fishing, be prepared for a bit of waiting and patience while things are being worked on.
