Reel in the fun at Ventnor's Fishing Pier
If you're angling for a fun and rewarding activity in Ventnor, NJ, look no further than the Fishing Pier.
Most Ventnor residents would be surprised to know that, over time, at least three piers have previously existed at Cambridge Avenue:
The first pier was built around 1914, but was replaced by a larger pavilion.
Fire destroyed the second pier in August of 1940.
A third pier was built to replace the damaged one, but that pier was destroyed in a storm in March, 1963.
The current pier underwent a nine-month $3.2 million renovation project in 2007, and reopened on July 4, 2008.
