Hunting Island Fishing Pier

The former Paradise Fishing Pier, now operated by the State Park, is located on the southern most part of Hunting Island. This fishing pier extends 1,120 feet out into the Fripp Inlet, the water between Fripp Island and Hunting Island. A new Nature Center is housed in the former bait house and has many exciting displays about marine life, including several salt water tanks, live reptiles, turtles and snakes. It's a focal point for exploring and learning about the nature found around the park. Fishing from the pier is excellent for all types of fish including drum, bass, spots, trout, shark, whiting and croaker. Favorite baits are shrimp, cut bait (menhaden or mullet) as well as spoons and other artificial baits. Fripp Inlet is well known for its productive fishing and is a very popular spot for the local fishing crowd. It's the perfect spot to do some fishing, enjoy some time spent with the kids and learn about the area nature. What ever you catch makes a fine dinner back at the campground and the aroma of cooking fresh fish is sure to attract new friends and make for some great tales around the campfire. Who knows...
you might even see old Ron!
