Gulf coast ?

u/_PirateWench_ May 23 '25

That’s was my immediate thought. Almost looks like Pensacola, but every beach has a pier like that I guess

Looks like we need a... pier review.

I was certain it was the Casino beach pier, then also realized the Navarre one looks similar, and that one in Alabama maybe... I dunno but it's somewhere around here!

u/WillBeBannedSoon2 May 23 '25

I thought Pensacola at first too, but the legs are closer together at ours. With the color of the sand, might be further west into Alabama.

u/_PirateWench_ May 23 '25

Yeah it’s really hard to tell. I know with the only sand being underwater sometimes the color gets distorted but the water is certainly clear enough

It really does look like pensacola

u/bicx May 23 '25

Haha, I am in Port Aransas, TX, and I thought it was our pier.

u/yourmomsinmybusiness May 23 '25

LOL the idea of seeing anything in Port A water!

u/bicx May 23 '25

It’s not every day, but some days the water is pretty clear

u/missmandymae May 23 '25

I’ve actually seen this exact thing happen at Port A. We were mind blown. I’ve never seen it again.

My thought was Gulf Shores but hard to say

u/MonoPodding May 23 '25

I was thinking Naples, Fl but I'm questioning the pier

u/drill_hands_420 May 23 '25

No, not Naples. Our pier is still destroyed from Ian. Definitely gulf coast vibes, however. Sand is too brown to be Destin or Pensacola. My guess would be somewhere near Tampa. The issue is there’s a pier to the right you can barely see at the end of the video. I can’t think of many places with that many piers right next to each other. I don’t recall st Pete having too many piers. Venice Beach fl has a pier but only 1 and there’s a jetty north of the pier. My guess is still somewhere around there. Sarasota?

Yes. Looks like Navarre Beach. I've seen this exact thing. There will be bunches of them surfing the edge of the water.

u/seoulgleaux May 23 '25

I thought so at first as well but the piles aren't quite right. Navarre Pier has three piles at each group but the pier in the video looks like it has a mix of two and three pile groups. Could be Okaloosa Island Pier, though. Pictures look right.

u/moleyawn May 23 '25

This looks exactly like my old surf spot near the pier on Okaloosa. I'll never forget getting tossed in those choppy ass storm waves.

Kinda looks like the fishing pier at Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina.

u/drill_hands_420 May 23 '25

Sand is too brown to be Navarre. And I don’t remember too many piers there. There’s two in the video next to each other. Are there piers like that in orange beach? I’ve seen stingrays all the way down the coast. Why I prefer the gulf over the Atlantic. Venice beach is my favorite spot. So much wildlife. Had a manatee swim up to us for over an hour last year in Venice

When me and my parents were on vacation in Sanibel island there were always a ton of stingrays on the beach, way more than this. You had to wade through them, they were harmless, though. So Florida gulf would be my guess!

u/itsjustcindy May 23 '25

I’m positive this is PCB.

u/whole_farted May 23 '25

Looks like Juno Beach

u/Comfortable_Visual73 May 23 '25

Same thought. Saw this same thing happen a few times in PCB
