THE ANGLER’S CLUB OF ABSECON ISLAND

The Pier was built in 1923 & has endured nature’s challenges for 102 years.

In 1944, a hurricane destroyed the Margate boardwalk & part of the pier. 

It was rebuilt but damaged again in the mid-sixties. 

In 1989, a fire detroyed an entire section.  A new outer tee was constructed. 

In 2008, the pilings were in need of repair. 17 pilings were replaced. 

In Oct 2012 Hurricane Sandy hit.

Some of the pilings snapped & the entire inner tee was listing at a severe angle.

30 pilings were replaced for $110,000.

In 2017, the State mandated the beach reclamation project.

The Club got State funding to extend the pier to what we enjoy today.

We welcome new members so let’s go fishing!
