The Piers Of Southern California

 Originally created in 1905, this most northern of L.A. County piers was used to help ship various products and support the import of supplies to the area. ... 

Built in 1909, it's hard to believe this place visited by many was first used to send treated sewage into the Ocean. Thankfully, this process was stopped in the 1920's. This location continues to bring guests out to enjoy

It's hard to believe the history surrounding this place. Originally opened in 1905, the walk extended out to 1200 feet.  In it's prime it held many attractions that as of this moment are long gone and may never return. Still when it re-opens I look forward to walking it's path just to enjoy the moments...

Created in 1920, this 928 foot long walk is considered the oldest concrete pier on the west coast. One of the best times to see this extension is during the winter holidays...

The current pier was opened in 1965. How ever, looking into the past of Hermosa the first design was created in 1904. Judging by the visitors walking the structure it is still a welcome experience to enjoy... 

Its' hard to believe that the current structure we walk nowadays is the 7th generation-spanning back to the first created in 1889. The features and purpose had changed but with new designs on the board this place will take on a newer look in years to come...

In 2001, the Belmont Plaza Pier was renamed to honor the Long Beach veterans. With a length of 1,800 feet and a width of 24 feet, this place continues to shine for local fishermen and walking enthusiasts ...

Created in 1906, Seal Beach Pier is known as one of the longest wooden piers in the state of California. With a history of issues, this structure continues to remain for many to see and enjoy...  

Created in 1902, this pier is known as the second-longest extension in California. This pier in my history is considered the first I ever walked out into the ocean. Still a major attraction along the coast it is a place many still come to see and enjoy...  

Erected in 1940 this reconstructed extension replaced the previous wharf that had been there since 1922.

Constructed in 1906, this is a popular fishing spot for many. I was just amazed at how close it is to the Newport Beach Pier. Both are worth a visit should you have the chance to visit...

 The Original Pier was constructed in 1928 spanning 1,200 feet. At Current, the wooden structure is 1,296 which was rebuilt in 1985. Parking is limited, so if you can get a spot you are pretty lucky...

The latest version of the pier opened in 1987 but spans back to 1888. To this day it is visited by many. When I first saw this location parking was pretty easy to find. Now with buildings rising closer to the shore it has become harder to locate...

The first Scripps pier was raised in 1916. The structure I took pictures of was built in 1988. Both Piers were established with the financial support of the Scripps.  With the entrance located on college grounds, the pier is only open to public viewing during certain times.  

Crystal Pier first opened in the mid 1920s as Pickering's Pleasure Pier.  The Structure is unique in that is has rental spaces available right on the extension. Prices vary, and with covid, it seems the pier has reduced guest capacity when not staying at one of the bungalows.  Still it is a nice walk out to the end with a noticable movement during incoming strong wave activity.
