Best fishing spots in Waveland

Waveland's own pier, the Garfield Ladner Memorial Pier beside the lighthouse, is closed while the city rebuilds it after Hurricane Zeta; work began in February 2026, so check whether it has reopened. Meanwhile the public beach in front of Buccaneer State Park, about 3 miles south, is the place to wade the shallow Sound on calm mornings for speckled trout and redfish.

The Clermont Harbor Pier, about 3 miles southwest, is a quiet county pier for trout, white trout and croaker, with redfish and flounder in the fall; bring bait, as nothing is sold out there. To the east, the Washington Street Pier in Bay St. Louis, about 4 miles away, has restrooms beside its launch.
