The Grassy Sound Fishing Pier Is Finally OPEN After Years! – Tour Video
After nearly three years of closure, the Grassy Sound Fishing Pier has officially reopened and it’s better than ever.
Over the past few months, the Wildwood Video Archive has been covering the reconstruction of this bridge/pier.
Located just off Old North Wildwood Boulevard, the pier has long been a favorite spot for locals and tourists looking to fish, crab, or simply enjoy the peaceful marsh views.
Originally built on the remnants of the old Grassy Sound Bridge, the wooden structure had served generations before time and tide took their toll. And yes, this was the old rickety bridge you remember driving down as a kid.
Structural concerns forced its closure in 2022, leaving one of the best fishing spots off the island out of commission.
That changed on June 13, when Cape May County unveiled a fully rebuilt, modernized version of the pier following a nearly $3 million renovation.
The project involved a complete teardown and rebuild of the structure, along with major improvements including ADA-compliant access ramps, enhanced lighting, new signage, a replacement bulkhead, and expanded parking.

But it was more than just that.
Now measuring 285 feet long and 24 feet wide, the new pier offers plenty of space and amenities: fish-cleaning stations with running water, picnic areas, trash and line recycling bins, restrooms, and night lighting.
And best of all, access remains completely free and open 24/7. That’s right! It is now FREE.
The grand reopening was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony with county and township officials. The pier is now maintained by Middle Township through a shared-services agreement, ensuring that it remains clean, safe, and welcoming for future generations.
The WVA stopped by the pier the day before the grand opening ceremony to film a quick tour video. Since than, we have already fished there and can say, this place is awesome.
Our only recommendation is that they install some shade because boy it can get hot!
