According to the Jacksonville Beach Police Department, visitors will be allowed on the pier from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day of the week. JBPD and City officials will be monitoring activity to gather input.
Fishing will become available within two weeks, JBPD says. The bait shop and bathrooms will not be available at the time of the reopening. Further details are expected to come at a later time. Action News Jax will keep you updated on-air and online.
