Great place to walk or run and enjoy water shop for food and other items as well. It's parallel to the bridge so you get some amazing views and if you're lucky, you might even be able to see a Naval ship and definitely other boats on the water. read more

The pier is a great spot for fishing, a walk, a date, or to just sit and have a nice time on your own. You'll get some great views of the Yorktown, downtown, and the bridge. The longer you stay the better chance you'll have at seeing dolphins. Seating and restrooms are available, although the restrooms may be closed. It's a great spot to photograph the bridge above you. read more

What a beautiful surprise. Great location for a walk, people watching, and they clearly support fishing from the pier. The pier extends well into the Cooper river, providing excellent views all around. Super well maintained and clean, and there's a cafe and gift shop which makes this an excellent place to bring your out of towners for souvenirs and a refreshing meal and ice cream. read more

We love coming here almost anytime of the year. The pier offers so much to so many whether you like to fish, stroll, or take pics. We love it to just get to the end and look out over the Cooper River Bridge. For us it's just being able to relax on a nice walk around and check out the boats, people and nature. Sure the big old bridge is overhead, but that is almost ignored as the views and atmosphere are so engaging. There are some hanging swings on the pier, but the best place to sit and right near the entrance. There are some benches on both sides to relax and enjoy. The pier is always clean and well maintained. There is a cafe and gift shop at the entrance and bathrooms nearby. Come here for a great view and relaxing time. This is why I love the low country! read more

A well designed pier with great views of the river / harbor, USS Yorktown, the submerged hull, the downtown skyline, and of course, the big ol' Cooper River Bridge. There's a nice park for children (and adults) to play in, and lots of areas to walk and start your trek across the bridge if you so choose to. There are restrooms, and shops, and several areas to fish from. The only negative now, has nothing to do with the pier, but the new construction going on right next to it, which takes away from the tranquility of this park. I can't imagine trying to yoga in the park with the constant pounding of the crane drill things. It is SO loud. read more

Mount Pleasant Pier is part of the Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park. It's a really nice pier for fishing, people watching, and just relaxing to the sound of the river under the shade of the Cooper River Bridge. There are several areas offering seating along the pier as well as a few nice swings. It's never really crowded and makes a great location to enjoy a lazy day. read more

We went out for a shag dancing party on a Saturday night. The weather was windy and kept threatening to rain, so that wasn't so good. The pier is a nice large place with plenty of room for folks to fish and a good number of seats to enjoy the great view. Was very clean and well maintained. Wouldn't want to make a long to get there, but if you're nearby it's a nice palce. Parking was easy at the end of the pier. There is a shop that sells souvenirs and sandwiches, drinks etc. read more

This place is very well maintained and clean and always in good condition. It is relaxing here as you can clear your head and enjoy the water and nature. There are some unique views here that you will not experience anywhere else. read more

Nice place for a stroll or to fish off of into the Cooper River. There is a cafe and small bait shop at the start of the pier which sells frozen bait, but you need to bring your own fiddler crabs if you want to go after the sheepshead which are a good size and numerous. Crabbing is possible, but the bottom is pretty littered with construction debris from when it was built, so easy to snag lines. read more

This is a great park located under the Ravenel Bridge where you can have a little picnic, bring your fishing / crabbing gear, or just take a load off looking over the harbor. Fishing is $5 for Charleston county residents and $8 for visitors. The shop on site has everything you'd need if you would like to purchase gear / bait there. The county just removed the parking meters, so parking is now free. Tuesday nights in June '13 the park is hosting Party at the Park - a free country concert for anyone interested. read more

So...I'm reviewing a pier. Even stranger than reviewing a pier...is that I was directed here by a friend as a place to visit. Okay? Well, as far as pier ratings go...this is the best one I've been to. There's a great playground and park to stop and rest at. There's a visitor center (you heard that right) where you can get gifts, refreshments, bait, and pay a fee to go fishing. The pier has some great views with stationary benches and swinging benches for the whimsical relaxers visiting the pier. There is ample parking and public restrooms too. Hooray! read more

Always a good spending time with my son. We have been here a few times. Always catching fish , but most of them have been small. Next time we will walk further on the pier to see if it makes a difference. The facilities are great and family friendly. I would advise bringing your bait versus buying them from the shop. The shop have shrimp, fish and squid as bait, but the cost is a little more pricey and it is frozen, meaning we had to wait a little bit before getting going. Overall, it is a great place to go fishing! read more

This is a great spot to visit for a nice walk on the paved sidewalks that surrounds the park area. Leashed pets are welcome, but not on the pier. Great spot to view the USS Yorktown as well as barges coming in and out. We love to fish and crab here w/ the kids. Nice area near the shoppette to have coffee, milkshakes or lunch. Bathrooms are accessible near the park and pier areas. Since the pier is pretty long, this is a favored spot to walk/run or bike ride. Local events like Blessing of the Fleet, weddings, etc happen here. Close to restaurants, hotels and grocery store if you're visiting! read more

What a nice thing to have done with where the old bridge was! WE have visited the park several times and loved it but never made it down the pier because no dogs allowed. Well as luck would have it my wife and I were early for an appointment in Mt P and needed to waste some time so we checked it out. IT is beautiful It was kind of cold that day so not many visitors but the view from almost anywhere on the pier was fantastic and really said Lowcountry to me. I grew up near here and just love all the views of the marsh, the Yorktown, the harbor, the Wando, Drum Island, downtown, etc. There were a good amount of folks fishing. I have no idea if they catch anything but they must with this many people around. Will be back next time we are without canines! read more

This park is very close to the Mt. Pleasant Visitor Center under the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. We saw the park and pier after stopping by the visitor center. There is a great playground (note: playground is marked for 5-12yrs old but my 4 and 3 yrs old nephews were able to manage fine) and then very long pier that is just under the bridge. This may seem a little odd but if you are looking for a break from the sunshine this is the place to go. The pier has some great swinging benches to enjoy and the children's playground the kids could have played all day. Parking is in a pay lot adjacent to the playground and pier but it was not expensive. There is a small visitor center/gift shop and public restrooms at the pier. I am not sure when the park and pier was built but setup pretty good. You can see Patriots Point from the pier and the area is nice. read more

You have to park in the private parking lot of the condos just off of Lockwood, but I have never had a problem with this. There is not a lot of room for kids to run around but it is a cool spot to share with bigger kids who are interested in fishing. Overall though it is a great place, especially if you just need to take a minute or two for yourself.
