Placida trestle
This pier is on the main land side of the inter-costal.
South Pier is on the Island side you have to pay the toll to get onto the
island,
The Placida trestle and south pier once connected by a swing bridge when the
trains
ran out to Boca, Now the train no longer run and both ends have been
converted into fishing
piers. This is what it looked like when I started fishing there, the
pictures after show
the new pier rebuilt for fishing.

What it looks like today
