Named after South Florida’s most renowned fishing pier, the history of PIER 5 dates back to the early 1900s as it played a vital role as a fish market, tourist attraction and prime location for some of the best sport fishing in the area. The area hosted Miami’s most popular sport fishing competitions and served as a breeding ground for incredible innovation and development in fishing, including the invention of kite fishing. Today, Bayside Marketplace is still a launching point for sports fishermen and provides proximity for visitors to the Port of Miami and Miami International Airport.
