UPDATE: Summer 2023 - The pier and adjacent buildings remain closed until further notice. The parking lot and beach access on the east side of the pier will remain open and are free for public use at this time. Food truck vendors at the lot may be available during the summer season and paid lot parking may be implemented in the future. Plans to bring new life to the Holden Beach Fishing Pier are moving forward.
