Overall it's a good local fishing spot that my son and I enjoy fishing ....but it needs some care…read moreand attention. Several planks, benches and railings need to be replaced and all benches, tables and rails need to be pressure washed. I know it's a fishing pier, but....dam it's boarder line nasty. But the staff are friendly and willing to help. So if you can over look sone of the cleanliness issues it's a great place to go.

We spent five hours on his smaller of the two boats and really enjoyed a relaxed day of fishing. The kids (5,8,10,12) caught some fish and the highlights of the day surely were the 3 sand sharks that we caught and let go. Can't blame Pete for what bites but I am sure that if we were able to fill the cooler with fish I would have tacked on another star ;). Thank you Pete for a fun and memorable day!

What a find! It's not just a boat launch, it's a great park!…read more From what I've found online the Messick Point Landing was updated and improved around 2005. There's a couple of launches available and 4 piers. Enough parking for a fleet both in the well lighted parking lot and pier side. The entire place is also handicapped accessible. The facility is also open 24 hours and there are no fees. In addition the spacious property houses the Poquoson Yacht Club, a private boating club that anyone can join, and a restaurant called Bull Island BBQ that I'll be checking out in the future. This is a great place to spend the afternoon with your family, friends or even your dog. Check it out.
