If you want to come up north there is an awesome cement pier just south of Touhy beach. It has no rails or anything. It's weird to walk out on because of the sensation of how easy it would be to go off the edge. I can't remember how far down to the water usually. Medium, I'd say 2 to 4 feet at my best recollection. I have no clue how deep the water is. Be sure you pick a spot more than 5' deep I'd think.
