How long is the Lake Worth Pier?

WGI was responsible for revitalization of this 1,000-foot long ocean pier after storm damage from Hurricanes Jeanne and Frances. The pier was raised five feet for additional storm protection, while still maintaining ADA accessibility. The pier was designed and constructed utilizing top-down construction techniques.



The William O. Lockhart Municipal Pier (commonly known as the Lake Worth Beach Pier) in Florida stands at a length of approximately 1,200 feet (366 meters). Rebuilt after several hurricanes, the current concrete structure extends far into the Atlantic Ocean, providing a premier destination for fishing, sightseeing, and birdwatching. The pier is a focal point of Lake Worth Beach life, located at the end of Lake Avenue. In 2026, the pier remains popular because its length allows anglers to reach deep-water species that aren't accessible from the shore. The structure is designed to withstand significant storm surges, featuring a "T-shape" at the end to provide more space for fishermen. Visitors should note that there is typically a small fee (around $1 to $2 for walkers and $5 to $10 for fishermen) to access the pier, which helps fund the ongoing maintenance of the high-salt environment. The view from the 1,200-foot mark offers one of the best panoramas of the Palm Beach County coastline and is a favorite spot for sunrise photography.
