Bangor Pier or Garth Pier (Welsh: Pier y Garth), at 460 meters long, is the second-longest pier in Wales after Llandudno (700 meters) and the ninth-longest in the British Isles. The pier was officially opened to the public on May 14, 1896, by Baron George Douglas-Pennant, resident of Penrhyn Castle and owner of the largest slate quarries in Snowdownia.
The pier served as a landing stage for pleasure boats to Blackpool, Liverpool, and Douglas (on the Isle of Man).
In 1971, the pier was closed for safety reasons, and in 1974 ownership was transferred to Arfon Town Council. The council immediately decided to demolish the pier, but Bangor Town Council objected, and the structure was granted protected status.
The pier was purchased in 1975 for a symbolic price of 1 pence, and renovation work began in 1982. The pier reopened on May 7, 1988.
During new restoration work that began in 2017, the pier had to be closed for safety reasons for a period (from June 2018 to March 2021).

There was once a proposal to extend the pier into a pedestrian and cycle bridge, as a third crossing of the Menai Strait (which separates Anglessey from the Welsh mainland), but the plan was abandoned as unrealistic.
