Saltwater Pier

King Harbor Breakwater

The rock that forms the seaward wall of King Harbor is a calico, opaleye, and perch fishery when the swell lets you stand there. CDFW treats the qualifying breakwater as a public pier (no license on the structure that meets 1.88). It is not a casual family walk — surge, algae, and a drop into deep water. Fish the harbor side first.

Regulations reminder

Size limits, bag limits, seasons, and MPA rules are set by CDFW and can change in-season. Public-pier license exceptions (CCR 1.88) apply only on qualifying structures — not on the beach next to them. This is an independent site and is not affiliated with CDFW.
