Ventnor City fishing pier HISTORY
At least three piers have previously existed in this spot.
The first pier was built around 1914 and was eventually replaced by a large pavilion.
Fire destroyed the second pier in August of 1940, after which a third pier was built to replace the damaged one. That pier was destroyed in a storm in March 1963.
The current pier underwent a nine-month $3.2 million renovation project in 2007 and reopened on July 4, 2008.
