Sweet Vacation Alabama – The longest fishing pier off the Gulf Coast: "When I was told I’d be going to a fishing pier on our trip to Alabama, I politely nodded and attempted to feign interest. I mean, one fishing pier is just like any other right? Was I ever so wrong.
The Alabama Gulf State Park Pier’s claim to fame? It’s the longest fishing pier on the Gulf of Mexico. The Pier stretches 1,540 feet over the ocean – so far that two sailfish were hooked in the week that I visited by anglers standing topside. For those non-anglers out there – sailfish are deep-sea fish, so catching them off of a pier is practically unheard of."
