West end of Fairhope Avenue The bayfront park and pier are the centerpiece of picturesque Fairhope. Duck ponds, a picnic area, a beautiful water fountain, and an award winning rose garden are just a few of it's many attractions. Come visit the pier and you'll see why it's truly a one of a kind place.
One of the most exciting moments at the pier is the Jubilee. This is an event in which the fish come in to the beach by the thousands, and everyone rushes to catch as many as they can. The concrete pier that exists now was built in 1969, but the pier had a somewhat different look back in the 1920's. Midway of the pier is the Yardarm Restaurant, one of the many great places to dine in Fairhope. Eastern Shore Art Center
