    Down the pier view.

    My wife and I were staying in Panama City Beach and the only reason this pier gets four stars is because they charge money to go on it. What!?!?! I have never seen this before. This is a pretty large pier and a lot of fishermen are on it, you are allowed three poles. They have pictures of some pretty big fish pasted up to the window. It is 1,500 feet long and has a nice concrete path down the middle and tons of Pokemon Go stops, if you play that walking game. Lady collecting money at the window was nice and your receipt is good for all day. The water is super clear and everyone we talked to was super nice, just like everyone in Panama City Beach. Pier Park is nearby, which has a lot of great restaurants like Angry Tuna and they have a Target nearby. We had a wonderful day, the day we bought the day pass.

    Pretty neat pier. There is a charge though to walk or fishing on pier. We saw a shark and some jellyfish. The pier is taken care of no graffiti. It's a tourist attraction but well worth the visit.

    A great place to take a moment and get your head together and make your soul feel right. It is called the Emerald Coast for good reason and this pier allows you to embrace the magnificent beauty of this part of the earth. So many only think of Panama City Beach as a party town, but there's a lot of beautiful places to take a moment and enjoy.

    great spot to walk out and try to catch views of the natural wildlife. was on the pier for less than 5 minutes and saw a school of dolphins and man o wars. I did think $3/person just to walk out on the pier was a little ridiculous - but I did see many people setting up coolers and fishing so I'm sure a lot of people get their money's worth.

    Not much to say about this because it's just a pier but you can really walk out far over the water so that is pretty cool. They charge a couple of bucks but you can get your hand stamped so you can come multiple times in the same day. If you are into playing Pokemon there is a Pokestop right in the middle so make sure you hit it. There is also a very nice porta potty with running water and everything in the middle in case you need a bio break. You can fish here for a couple extra bucks and there is even a spigot to rinse stuff off. There were a few people fishing when we were here but no one was catching anything. There is also a little shop at the entrance to the pier where you can buy supplies, drinks, and snacks.

    The pier was lined up with spectators and those fishing

    The bathrooms are filthy and I didn't feel safe at all. There needs to be more security and cleaning. All trash cans were overflowing.

    Great long walk. Only $3 a person for entry the entire day. So you can leave and come back too. Amazing pictures and people watching.

    Limited parking but has the conveniences of bathrooms, bait and tackle shop and a restaurant.

    I've been to St Andrews several times, including being lucky enough to camp once. I say lucky and I…read moremean it...it's tough to get a spot unless you're a good planner. I ain't. Still, I did a day hike on Gator Trail with THE Mr. Freckles McWolfington, and we had a blast. He wasn't happy about being stuck on leash, but it IS called Gator Trail for a reason. When we got back to the trailhead, we walked over to the little deck and were treated to a terrifying growl from what was either the biggest gator in Florida or a T-Rex, we weren't sure. First time hearing a gator growl - it was so freaking cool. If you get a chance, come out for a walk and some time on the beach - no dogs allowed, though (don't tell Freki I called him a dog, please).

    Drove all the way from Santa Rosa Beach where I am very familiar with two State Parks, Grayton…read moreBeach State Park and Topsail Hill Preserve State Park and the Ranger at the gate would not allow us to get in to check the campsites so we could make an intelligent decision for booking next year. When I asked her if we could just drive around OR walk, she refused even when I said we had driven 40 miles just for that purpose. I will have to reserve BLINDLY for next year and be content with whatever site we get shaded or not. Looks like she had a bad night and hope that Karma comes around, it wasn't like we were going to sneak in and spend the night in the car when we were staying in Topsail which I am almost sure is better than this other one. I am sure that if I was a politician she would've extended the red carpet. So this review is not about the Park itself but about the Ranger at the gate and her attitude towards potential customers
