New $4.76 million Bay Pier opens
September 20, 2023 - Pinellas County’s Parks and Conservation Resources Department will celebrate Bay Pier at Fort De Soto Park reopening with a ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday, Sept. 28, at 11 a.m. Workers removed the previous pier last year due to extensive deterioration. The new $4.76 million structure features a shaded area over the dock for the Egmont Key Ferry, low-level deck and pole lighting, and fish cleaning stations.
