Juno Beach Pier Volunteer Resources

A new, T-shaped, $2.1 million, county-owned pier opened in 1999. While the previous Juno Beach Pier was located at Mercury Way, the new pier was constructed 1.5 miles north and remains located within Juno Beach. Loggerhead Marinelife Center began managing and operating the Juno Beach Pier in 2014.  In 2017, the Juno Beach Pier saw over 70,000 visitors and over 36,000 anglers.

The Juno Beach Pier is a 990-ft pier that is ideal for saltwater fishing. JBP is part of LMC’s Responsible Pier Initiative (RPI). RPI is a collaborative tool to work directly with fishermen and fishing piers to promote a healthy pier environment for sea turtles and other marine life. The purpose of these efforts is to provide first-responders on fishing piers with necessary resources to respond effectively to traumatic sea turtle injuries and strandings.
