The best time to visit this pier is just before sunset (or sunrise I’m guessing too). It provides an incredible view of the sky and the reflections off the water only add to the experience. Of course, it is more enjoyable if you have someone to share it with. They even provide park benches for you to sit and stay a spell. 

The Pensacola Beach Fishing Pier stretches out over the water and offers a great view of the Gulf and back towards Pensacola Beach. As it gets dark, the tourists start to leave, offering some nice shots of the long, empty pier.
