Melbourne Beach Pier

There is a nice park her with a great play ground for young kids. The pier is quite long with a large covered gazebo at the end. The pier gives you a great view of the Indian River which is quite wide at this point. The reason for the lost star is the parking situation. There are number spots with a sign to visit a 'Pay Station' which was the opposite direction of the pier (inconvenient) or a QR code to pay online. Great except it requires you to download an app which in turn requires you to set up an account and receive a text to confirm your phone # and account. OK, big hassle but I went ahead. Never received the code! Went back and tried again and made sure my phone # was correct but again no code received. Walked around a bit and cut my visit short as I did not want a ticket in a rental car. Disappointing.
