If you like fishing but do not want to step into the surf, you can stay dry while trying your luck at the Seawall between 10th and 61st streets. This fishing spot has numerous rock groins to cast your line from while still being out far enough to catch speckled trout and hardhead catfish. Keep in mind that you cannot fish from the shore since there are a lot of swimmers and people in the water.
