The skating rink at the pier is 4,000-suare feet and the centerpiece is Winter Beach and they also have a shopping village, food and holiday events. There will be themed nights like a country night and a '90's night. Skating at Winter Beach will cost $17 and you will be able to rent skates and skate around the ice rink for 75 minutes.

Santa will also make an appearance at the ice rink at the pier to take pics with the kids, although a date for his appearance hasn't been announced yet.

Construction of the ice rink at the Pier will begin on Monday and a Christmas tree will be installed on November 19th just in time for the Grand Opening the next day.
