About
The Pier is a waterfront shopping center that many feel has seen better days. While the restaurants and marina views are a major draw, the retail side is struggling with many empty storefronts. It's a quiet, somewhat dated venue that is great for a meal by the water but lacks the energy of a bustling shopping mall.
