Everything was very dirty and smelled terrible. It was obvious that the area hadn’t been cleaned for days. The odor of rotting meat was overwhelming and clearly had been there for more than just one day. I thought that charging an admission fee to access the pier would at least include basic cleaning and maintenance. This is truly shameful.
I just parked and walked around Currently the peir is damaged and the furthest point is roped off , yet the still charge you at the gift shop to go on it. Not much Gluten-free options and the dock is also being replaced so probably better to hold off to visit for a few more months this year
As the name suggests, awesome view for a sunset. The photos I uploaded are without any filters. No matter how many pictures I captured, was not satisfied. 😅 Decent crowd on an evening. And ample parking spots. Usually there’s traffic from Tampa to Clearwater on evenings.
Really loved visiting Sunsets at Pier 60! The view of the sunset over the water is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s such a chill spot to relax with friends or just unwind on your own. There’s a nice vibe with street performers and little vendors around, which makes the evening feel lively but not too crowded. Perfect place to grab a few photos, enjoy the ocean breeze, and watch the day end in a beautiful way. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area!
Enjoyable per walk with a souvenir shop at the end. *also had muffins, candy and drinks). Pay an extra $3 to get to the end of pier. Fishermen, birdlife, shopping and live music! I bought a license plate sign, Life is Good... and yes it is!
