Alabama, Florida compete to build Gulf of Mexico's longest pier | al.com: "Florida officials announced this week that they would add another 45 feet to the end of the Navarre Beach Fishing Pier, which is currently under construction, in a bid to bring back the title of the Gulf of Mexico's longest pier.

When it opens in May, the Navarre Beach pier will reach 1,545 feet into the Gulf.

That will be about 5 feet longer than the $16.2 million pier the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources opened at Gulf State Park in July, where anglers can stand so far out into the open water that sailfish have been hoisted over the rails."
