The new pier is another place where you will want to visit especially in early morning when the sun rises or at sunset. The view from the pier is spectacular. You may even watch the dolphins from time to time put on quite a show in Boca Ciega Bay. Incidentally, many Hollywood movies have been filmed at the Don Cesar. If you like fishing, bring along your fishing gear and you are sure to catch something interesting from the pier.
Large catfish are plentiful as well as most other fish caught in the area.
They will eat the fish right off your hook, especially the pelicans. An early morning walk along Gulfport Beach is a must. You can listen to the singing budgies and watch many of the well-known Florida birds. All of the craft and art stores located on Beach Boulevard are open where you can browse, shop and help yourself to refreshments, which often include wine and cheese. A good idea would be to make an evening of it and dine at one of the restaurants located on Beach Boulevard or have some ice cream dessert at the ice cream store located at the end of Beach Boulevard near the Casino.
