  Johnny Merecer's Fishing Pier is THE reason I go to Wrightsville Beach. I love the pier and I don't even fish! It's solidly built, very clean, has great views, and... read more

  This pier charges you to simply walk on the pier, kind of ridiculous and never heard of such a thing. Decided to try it and see what the fuss was... read more

It's a nice looking pier, obviously crowded on hot days. Parking nightmarish - circle, circle, circle. Fishing allowed. It costs a few dollars to enter. I... read more

I love this spot with my family and friends. Great place for those awesome beach shots and shell collecting. Although... it's also a great fishing spot, we go here to the beach not to fish. I just wish we.had.more beautiful days like we had on the 26th, crisp air warm sun and very cold water. Perfect day to enjoy life's simple pleasure and God's creation. Something we all need in these times of pandemic hardships.read more

One of our favorite beach areas to visit. It's clean and never too crowded (outside of holidays). The parking is good... as well. Because of the pandemic, the beach is big enough to safely social distance and I've never had a problem being there.read more

This was a delightful place to park and enjoy the morning at the beach! Although it is a bit pricey for only an hour,... we enjoyed every second! So clean and friendly and courteous to everyone! Too bad the storm came up or we would have paid for another hour just to watch the fishing and dip our feet in the waves!read more

The store was amazing... Great things for a reasonable price. Staff was great too. The pier was awesome as well but... could hardly see any thing, and no one had masks in in the store, on the walkway or on the pier. Was kinda disappointed with lack of policy, although there was a sign on the door, no customers in the store part had a mask on, not even the clerk.read more

Excellent spot to enjoy the beach. There is a small fee to walk out on the pier or you can pay more to fish off of the... pier. From the pier you can watch surfers or just enjoy the ocean breeze. Well worth a visit!read more

It costs two dollars to walk out onto the pier and feel the breeze, look at the waves shimmering in the moonlight and... interacting with dozens of hopeful, mostly unsuccessful fishermen and women.read more

Really beautiful beach and view. Fishing is so much fun. Inexpensive $6 per fishing pole but if your not fishing it's... free to visit the pier. Staff is really welcoming. Great place to visit.read more

I’ve fished here multiple times and had a great night every time I went here. Last time I caught two good sized... bluefish and brought them home for dinner. I’ve bought hooks and bait here. Hooks are priced alright and bait is priced eh, but definitely worth it since I didn’t prepare my own. Also bought a cheap bucket here. Never tried the food but I probably will next time I come down for the weekend and fish a good 6-8 hours.$8 Per rod is definitely worth it If you catch a few keepers. Guys at the desk are nice enough, and wished me luck when I went to fish. Even held the door for me. Will update this when I try the food next time I fish. Great job all aroundread more

Fair prices in the shop. Bought a nice hat. Fishing poles were decently priced to rent. But I will say, the hooks they... had on couldn’t even catch a minnow. I had to go buy different hooks to use. Bait is a little over priced for what you get, but oh well. Had a good time with my girlfriend as the sun set, and caught two little fish.read more

Gorgeous views and sand. It was chilly, as expected in the winter, but a nice walk and shell hunting adventure were... still comfortable. Id love to come back at sunrise sometime. Sunset was pretty, but I bet the sunrise is even better here. Parking is easy so, which isn't always the case at beaches. There was a couple taking wedding photos which I'm sure turned out amazing. It's a beautiful pier.read more
