A rendering of the new waterfront space

An empty space along the picturesque Intracoastal Waterway will be filled in with music, entertainment and activity every day of the year, under a newly approved Pier 66 South proposal.

On the south side of the 17th Street Causeway, site of the former Sails Marina, developer Tavistock Development Co. will build a one-story, 5,000-square-foot, air-conditioned building with an indoor-outdoor bar and seating.

City commissioners voted Tuesday night to allow the five-year, temporary and ongoing special event. Longer term, Tavistock plans a major redevelopment there and a renovation of the iconic Pier 66 Hotel & Marina on the north side of the 17th Street Causeway.

At the new waterfront venue, visitors might find yoga, happy hours, brunches, farmers markets, artistic displays or musical performances, a Tavistock memo says. The zone might be reserved for a wedding or birthday party. Food trucks will rotate every few weeks or months.

The property, at 2150 SE 17th St., can be accessed by foot, car or boat.
