Fort Myers Beach Fishing Pier to close temporarily for maintenance

The Fort Myers Beach Fishing Pier at Lynn Hall Memorial Park will be closed for about three weeks beginning Aug. 16 so that a contractor can resurface the entire concrete deck.

The pier is expected to reopen in time for Labor Day weekend.

All amenities at Lynn Hall Park except the pier remain open with regular hours.

The concrete deck is resurfaced about every 10 to 15 years. The work is funded through the Tourist Development Tax, which is assessed on short-term lodging.
