The work was relatively minor routine maintenance,” said Susan Cerbone, the city s spokeswoman.
“The east end of the pier gets the brunt of the ocean’s force,” Cerbone said.
She said the pier had to be closed because crews needed to work from the deck of the city-owned pier, which is located at the eastern tip of Main Street.
The pier is popular with anglers because it s one of the few places in the area they don t need a license to fish. It s also free to drop a line off of the pier.
There’s also ocean fishing available with no license required on Sunglow Pier in Daytona Beach Shores. Fishing on Sunglow Pier, home of Crabby Joe’s Deck & Grill restaurant, costs $7 for adults and $3 for ages 11 and under.
