Pierce Avenue Beach Access, Cape Canaveral Fishing

5.7· Beach· Cape Canaveral, FL

Pierce Avenue is one of the 15 street-end beach crossovers the City of Cape Canaveral lists, with free parking, about seventeen spaces according to a public access list, and a walkway to the Atlantic. It lies on the city's Atlantic shore, on open sand where local reports describe whiting, pompano and winter bluefish. The beach is plain surf: no structure, no bait shop and no restrooms, just a trough to read and a rig to cast. The city does not list fishing at this access, so it is low confidence: read the signs, avoid swimmers and expect no lifeguard. The pin is estimated near the sand edge behind the lot.
