Opened in 1957, this now-defunct amusement pier extends from the Wildwod Boardwalk towards the sea. It was known as an "oceanic wonderland." Containing such notable amusements as the log flume and Golden Nugget Mine Ride, it was destroyed by fire in the early 1990s.

By the mid-1990s, the pier reopened as Dinosaur Beach, containing dinosaur-themed rides for children; the Golden Nugget Mine Ride survived the fire and remained open until its own closure in 1998.

The pier is now owned by Moreys Piers(www.moreyspiers.com/) and is used largely as a storage facility; the amusement rides listed on the websites below are retired/removed.

  • hunt's pier only has skyscrapper and golden nugget ride
  • There was no fire. The rides were simply removed over the years between 1989-1996. The Log Flume was dismantled 2001 it is now in Iowa. The Golden Nugget Mine Ride was razed 2009 props are in Morey's dark rides and some in possession of the Wildwood Historical Society. The track and trains were acquired by Knoebel's for a new mine ride at their park.
