Come discover the mysterious creatures that live below the pier! Our trained biologists provide underwater lights that attract spectacular estuary creatures for you to safely scoop up and observe, while our volunteer Beach Naturalists help you identify and learn more about what you’ve found. From octopus to anemones, from sea stars to sea slugs, you never know what you’ll encounter! Pier Peer is one of our most popular events, so register early to ensure your spot. Registration closes 24 hours before the event begins.

Prices: Adults $15, Kids 12 and under $3

As of April 2022, Pier Peer registration for each child will now be $3. We have also instituted a new low-income discount that offers free registration to individuals or families with an EBT card. To utilize this new program email our Program & Volunteer Coordinator with a photo of your EBT card and a valid ID
