Lagoon Pier and W. 13th St. Beach Access
Lagoon Pier was built on a old right-of-way on the southern shore of Little Lagoon. The developers of
the subdivision to the south built it and donated it to the City as a public pier. The pier can be
accessed from the end of the cul-de sac on the extension of W. Lagoon Ave. behind Sanibel Condominium.
On-street public parking is available on W. 13th St. which serves both the pier and the beach access at
south of W. Beach Blvd. across from W. 13th St. The beach access has benches and a shower, but the
closest public restrooms are a couple of blocks to the west at Lagoon Pass Park.
The pier extends into a shallow sandy area that extends well out into the lagoon, so it is not a great place
for fishing, but it is a good place for bird watching. The pier is unusually high off the water, making it
a good location for a kayaker to paddle under for a little rest out of the sun. ...back...
