Embarcadero Fishing Pier Access

Embarcadero Marina Park South Fishing Pier is a small public pier (95 feet long with a T-shaped end, 300 feet wide) located behind the San Diego Convention Center offering free fishing access with no license required.

The pier features restrooms, fish-cleaning stations, lighting, and an adjacent bait shop (Burgers, Bait & Beer), with nearby metered parking and picnic areas; it's open 6:00 a. m. to 10:30 p. m. daily.

The pier sits over bay mud bottom with nearby eel grass and an artificial reef, making it accessible for both casual and experienced anglers.
