Old Colwyn New Pier

The new pier is open. Can't see it being much of a fishing venue but should at least be an accessible high water mark for those that need easier venues.

Here is an example of a much more ambitious pier restoration going on on the Isle of Man. Aided by community donations. Looking forward to fishing from this one in a few years time.

Haha,another folly.
Not worth the time and money in my opinion.
I wonder what the charges will be.

worth investigating I'd think

I was thinking to myself that you could be the first to post a report from there. 30 minutes either side of high there could be enough water

Any more local still members able to recce for any "no fishing signs" and may be able to tell us the water depth at High?
Too many holidaymakers around in daytime for me!  Might tempt me at night.

Brings to mind the saying " A long walk off a short pier"

It's probably longer than Wigan pier though 

Not sure about "no fishing" signs. Might find  "We made this pier so short there is little point in fishing" signs.

Struggling to think of a shorter official pier in the uk.

Googling I found this although there is debate about it being a pier or just a beach pavillion ...

Only if the member has little legs.

The pier will probably be handy for a Marine Parade bus stop shelter.

On a very big Spring Tide along with a storm pushing the water towards the shore you may and I say may just get a little water under the pier.

And then it will be closed for health and safety reasons

When all you can see around you is sand,you are not in the sahara,you are on Old Colwyn pier

Yes, looks like you will need a long cast at low tide, but as was said could be good at night.
Fished off Ramsey pier when I was a boy, I remember an old woman used to fish most days, bundled up in coats and catching mostly mackerel.

There will probably be more parking meters than a Porcupine has quills,which will lead to Tourists staying on the A55 and trying further up.

Burnham pier (mentioned earlier) has been damaged by fire ...
