Apache Pier In South Carolina Is The Longest Wooden Pier On The East Coast

The longest wooden pier on the East Coast is located right here in our own front yard and you’ll love a visit to this massive wooden platform that extends 1,206 feet from end-to-end. It’s no surprise the pier is in Myrtle Beach either. One of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the country, Myrtle Beach hosts 14 million visitors annually. But that shouldn’t stop us natives from enjoying all that the Apache Pier has to offer! (And we do have a bit of an advantage that allows up to know when times aren’t quite as busy on the Grand Strand, right?)

Apache Pier is open year-round and has a variety of activities available. There is practically something for everyone at the pier.

Sunrise is always a favorite among visitors and locals alike. There is something oddly romantic about capturing the underbelly of this mega pier with a gorgeous sunrise to the East.

Apache Family Campground, located adjacent to this colossal pier, is a good place to rest your weary bones if you're traveling from out town — it also makes it MUCH easier to rise and shine and get out to the pier for that underbelly sunrise photo for your collection.

Up top, the pier has a multitude of things to do. A shelter located midway provides some shade during the day along with tables for resting and eating.

Speaking of eating, Apache Pier even has a full-service restaurant. Croakers at the Pier dishes up some of the best seafood around.

Not only can you order fresh fish on the pier at Croakers, but you can also catch fresh fish too. On any given weekend, you'll find a bevy of fishermen and their gear all the way out at the end of the pier. A bait and tackle shop is just another convenient feature the pier offers.

Apache has a bait and tackle shop, a restaurant and an arcade — and 1,206 linear feet made for strolling.

And dancing. During the summer months, you'll find live music nearly every night on the pier. Kick up your heels and enjoy!

The longest pier on the East Coast is open 365 days a year. When was the last time you visited Apache Pier?
