PIER HISTORY

The city of Ventnor has long enjoyed having an iconic pier grace its shores. At least three piers have previously existed; the first pier was built around 1914 but was replaced by a larger pavilion. Fire destroyed the second pier in August of 1940, after which a third pier was built to replace the damaged one. That pier was destroyed in a storm in March 1963.  The current pier underwent a nine-month $3.2 million renovation project in 2007 and reopened on July 4, 2008.
