William O Lockhart Municipal Pier & Benny's on the Beach Restaurant, 10 Ocean Boulevard, Lake Worth Beach, Florida, USA / Rebuilt: 2009

This pier was rebuilt recently. The Gulf Stream current comes right to Lake Worth Beach, bringing species you don’t typically find close to shore right into the surf.

 

It's the first place an angler caught a sailfish from land. When the northwest winds blow in winter, a few diehard anglers launch live baits clipped to kites and fly the baits out to deeper water.

 

This pier is also a legendary snook fishing spot. Plenty of pompano, cobia and snappers are caught as well. You can rent tackle and buy bait right there as well.

 

The hurricane seasons of 2004 and 2005, were especially damaging for Lake Worth. The fishing pier was smashed by 3 storms: Hurricanes Frances, Jeanne and Wilma. The pier reopened in 2009 and self funds with modest entry fees for sightseers ($1.00) and fisherman ($3.00). The rebuilt pier has been raised 5 feet. The surfing in Lake Worth is consistently good, as a result of the sandbars created by the pier.

 

Situated on this pier is a restaurant called Benny's on the Beach, established in 1986, Benny's on the Beach has been a staple of Lake Worth Beach and continues its great reputation as of today.
