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.
