Santa Cruz Wharf Fishing Adventure! | Catching Milk Fish & Mackerel Off the Pier!

The Santa Cruz Wharf—stretching nearly 2,745 ft into Monterey Bay and built in 1914—is not only the longest wooden pier on the West Coast but a cherished spot for anglers of all ages.

Once a bustling hub for commercial fishing, it has evolved into a beloved location for recreational pier fishing, alongside dining, shopping, and sightseeing.

Fishing from the Santa Cruz Wharf offers both historical charm and productive waters for a range of species—from perch and mackerel to prized halibut and salmon.

Its accessible layout, family-friendly atmosphere, and diverse catches make it ideal for everyone, from veteran anglers to curious kids casting their first line. Whether you bring a simple bait setup or a full sabiki rig, the Wharf delivers both the thrill of the catch and the joy of gathering by the sea.
