A Gulf State Park naturalist leads a guided tour of the Gulf State Park Pier on two Friday mornings in November. The walk covers the pier's history, local conservation work, and the fish and birds that live around it. The park lists the walk as free and great for all ages, but pier parking costs $15 for the day.
