Hurricane Ian caused significant structural damage to the historic Flagler Beach Fishing Pier. A coastal engineering firm advised the City of Flagler Beach Mayor and Commission that the the Pier was no longer structurally sound enough for people to walk on after Hurricane Ian. During the Regular Commission meeting held on October 27th, 2022, the Commission determined that the City would not re-open the existing wooden Pier. Mayor Suzie Johnston stated that “We are actively working on rebuilding the Pier and we sincerely appreciate your patience as we initiate our new Pier in 2023.”

At the time when Hurricane Ian hit on September 28th, 2022, 210 people held valid Pier passes of various rates and durations.
