Best place to see dolphins and manatees off the pier. Great fishing off the Gulf pier. Kayaking rentals are available there. As well as tour boats of the local island. Nice swimming with lots of fish life by the pier. We have seen manatees there frequently. It’s about 30 min drive from Condo down Gulf Blvd.
