Bored? Broke? Tired of the same monotonous night? Variety is the spice of life, and your life may just need a twist. Here are four reasons why you should skip the nightclub and head to the local fishing pier this Saturday night.
affordable option
Visiting the pier is cheap! In most port cities, it costs little or nothing to visit the local fishing pier. Many only ask for a simple donation. When you compare the price to the cost of a night out, factoring in cover charges, drink minimums, and the rising cost of craft beer, it seems like a no-brainer. Parlay who saved money on a fancy cheese or a delicious bottle of wine.
romantic date
A date on the fishing pier is undeniably romantic. The resonance of the tide, the salty air of the sea, the cry of the seagulls in the distance -hopefully in the distance- is a recipe for love. Pack that fancy wine and cheese in a stylish cooler or bag and make it a night your loved one won’t soon forget. Keep that cheese away from those seagulls though! That could be a recipe for disaster.
unique nightlife
When it comes to nightlife options, visiting the pier is unique. How many times have you waited in line to get into that Downton Abbey themed nightclub only to walk in and find that all the guys are dressed as Matthew Crawley? Time to get out of the routine. Bring the tunes to the fishing pier and create your own dance club. Or avoid the club atmosphere altogether and go fishing! Fishing may not be everyone’s forte, but how impressed would your friends or date be if you caught your dinner for the night?
environmental friendly
Visiting the pier promotes a good cause. If there is a small admission fee, that money goes towards the ongoing upkeep and beautification of the pier and surrounding area. Even if there’s no fee, just visiting the pier brings awareness to a part of the city that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. Everyone is bound to notice your talent for social activism, and who doesn’t love a good cause?
So whether you’re looking to save some money, plan a witty date night, experience a unique night out on the town, or help the environment, a night on the pier is the perfect choice. Seriously though, watch out for those seagulls.
