Tides & Time: Seasons of the Pier

Tides & Time: Seasons of the Pier

The Juno Beach Pier is where land, water, people, and wildlife intersect in powerful and beautiful ways. Extending more than 900 feet into the Atlantic, the pier offers anglers, birders, and casual visitors alike an opportunity to connect with the ocean.

Since 2014, the Juno Beach Pier has been managed by Loggerhead Marinelife Center. It serves as a beachfront base of operations for education, conservation, and research programs.

The Juno Beach Pier was the launching point for the Responsible Pier Initiative, a program that combines education, habitat restoration, and sea turtle rescue — transforming fishing piers into beacons of marine conservation.
