Exciting news!

Gulf State Park Pier Renovation Update!

Attention, Gulf State Park visitors! Starting Monday, November 13, we'll begin the long-awaited renovation of the Gulf State Park Pier. This vital project is necessary to repair the damage sustained during Hurricane Sally in 2020.

The pier will be closing at 5 p.m. on Sunday, November 12, marking the beginning of the renovation process.

During this renovation, we'll be rebuilding the 200-foot section that collapsed during Hurricane Sally. Once the work is completed, anglers and other park visitors will have full access to the entire pier.

The pier is anticipated to reopen in the summer of 2024. During the closure, anglers are encouraged to check out other fishing locations along Alabama’s Gulf Coast including Gulf State Park’s Alabama Point, Romar Beach and Cotton Bayou (wheelchair accessible), and the Steve McMillan Fishing Pier and Boat Ramp at Fort Morgan.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this period. We can't wait to reopen the Gulf State Park Pier for all to enjoy! Stay tuned for further updates and progress reports.

Aerial view of what rip currents look like. We are entering the season of double red flag 🚩 🚩days. It means the water is closed bc of dangerous rip currents that will sweep you out to sea. Unnecessary drownings occur each year by tourists who either do not know or do not follow the flags. Standing on the shoreline it may not look dangerous.
If double red flags 🚩🚩are flying, do not get in the water.

If you ever caught in a rip current, do not PANIC. Swim parallel to the shore until you are out of it. Never try to swim straight back to shore as you will tire out and likely drown. As you see in the photo, going towards the waves with the white caps will get you back to shore. Stay safe!!
