Sand beach break influenced by the pier. Basically the you need to check the sand beach conditions as beach erosion caused by the Conch Island jetty several miles north on the south side of the Vilano Beach Jetty. Parking right at pier. Fresh water showers and toilets.
Overview
Atmosphere
It breaks according to the swell direction and sand bar conditions. Typical pier on a beach break, mostly better one side or the other of the pier depending on swell/wind. Can get crowded during good surf conditions, but if it is good there it will almost as good 100meters away also.
Started surfing it 1962 and have seen several piers installed and be swept away together with numerous beach replenishment programs. Why they don't use those sand tubes to stop beach erosion is beyond me...
General
Fun...
