Want to know how busy the Juno Beach Pier is today? See this live camera
JUNO BEACH – The Juno Beach Pier juts out 990 feet from shore, offering prime fishing opportunities and stunning ocean views – often while a pelican or two flies overhead. It is a staple destination for thousands of visitors every year. But what if someone wanted to visit on a day that isn't too busy? Or check out the surf conditions before going? Loggerhead Marinelife Center may have a solution for that. The nonprofit sea turtle conservation center features a live view of the pier on its website. The Juno Beach Pier opened in 1949. It was privately owned until 1984 when a Thanksgiving storm crumbled it. It was burned down by the town's fire department in 1986 after it was declared a safety hazard. A new $2.5 million, county-owned pier opened in 1999. It now has a nearby snack bar and gift shop that sells fishing tackle and bait and rents out fishing poles. Yes. Loggerhead Marinelife Center, a nonprofit that has managed the pier since 2014, has a live view of the pier on its website.
