American Veterans Memorial Pier
Description
This jetty, also known as the 69th Street Pier, is a favorite among Brooklynites looking for a relaxing place to fish or to simply hang out and enjoy the breeze coming off the harbor. Located south of Owl's Head Park in Bay Ridge, the spot offers views of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center and Manhattan skyline. The pier recently opened the Bay Ridge Community Eco Dock, a $1.1 million storm-resilient structure that's used for educational programming and recreational boating.
