@ Julie - I agree. The problem was the old, rotting wooden pier got blown halfway to Europe with the last big hurricane. So now it's concrete and steel.
@ Frank - I think the powers-that-be got tired of looking all over the Atlantic for the remnants of their pier after various hurricanes blew through...seems to me I read that this pier is supposed to withstand a category 5. Not sure I'd want to test that, though!
Very nice blog. I have a Florida Fishing Pier blog with photos of Venice, Skyway, and Flagler Beach Piers. All piers are a great place to be and go fishing. All the best.
Wow, it looks like a nice big one too. That is great.
ReplyDeleteLooks like quite some people enjoy having this new pier, eh?

Oh for the romance of rotting wood, Jacob.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm that water looks so enticing. But, no thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhen I finally get to Cedar Key I'm going to head here first, I think.
ReplyDeleteVery neat shot. the water looks like it must be full of fish. I would like to be on that pier fishing. MB

ReplyDeleteI know it's been a while since we visited Cedar Key but the amount of traffic and number of visitors have really shot up. And cops in a cart! Fancy!!
ReplyDeleteThe new pier looks like it'll withstand a pretty serious storm.
