Help Rebuild The Rod N’ Reel Pier!

The Rod & Reel Pier on Anna Maria Island has been a beloved gathering place for generations—a spot for fishing at sunrise, sharing meals with family, watching dolphins play, and taking in unforgettable Gulf sunsets. In 2024, Hurricanes Helene and Milton destroyed this historic landmark, leaving a deep void in the local community and in the hearts of visitors from all over the world.

Now, we’re on a mission to rebuild the Rod & Reel Pier and restore everything it represents: tradition, connection, and the coastal charm that makes Anna Maria Island so special.

How You Can Help

By supporting our Rod N’ Reel Collection, you aren’t just buying a shirt, hat, hoodie or sweatshirt—you’re helping to rebuild a piece of island history. Every item has been created to honor the Rod & Reel Pier and to keep its spirit alive while we work toward its return.

• A piece of history in every item – When you purchase from our collection, you carry a symbol of resilience, community, and hope. • Real impact with every order – Bongo Beachwear pledges at least $5 for every item in our Rod N’ Reel Collection to support the Rod & Reel Pier rebuilding efforts.

Historic Rod & Reel Pier

For locals, the Rod & Reel Pier is more than just a structure over the water—it’s a place where stories were made: first fishing trips, family reunions, proposals, celebrations, and quiet moments watching the tide roll in. Its loss has been felt across Anna Maria Island, and rebuilding it is about more than boards and beams; it’s about preserving a way of life.
