A nice structure and very centrally located, but if you're looking for a fun family diversion, we still enjoy the Aquarium in Manteo even more.

This is a relatively new pier that was rebuilt after a hurricane in 2008. It's in great shape and from what I can recall, it goes out about 900 feet. The staff is very knowledgable and helpful especially when it comes to renting equipment and figuring out which bait to use. The fishing was good even though I don't think... More

Beautiful "green" teaching pier complete with wind turbines, hurricanne simulater, fish ed, etc, definitly a worthwhile place to visit, great for kids and adults.

With a camera - the weather was stormy and we were able to take some fabulous pictures from the pier - plus go inside to warm up. They had a nice shop with lots of stuffed animals and some snacks.

Beautiful new pier, free to walk on (they take donations) and a bunch of interesting aquariums on the lower level. A great way to spend a couple of hours, even if you don't fish.

What a beautiful pier with so much history attached. Educational information not only of the piers many lives but also about the ocean tides, currents, hurricanes. It goes out quite far to bring you closer to the ocean life.

We arrived on a Sunday morning. Saw several dolphins in the water. Fishermen weren't having much luck...just catching stingrays. Very pleasant. Would recommend for families. There was a $2 fee for walking out on pier....but we saw the dolphins before we entered the "pay area".

There's not a lot to do here, but it is a very nice, new facility that provides a great way to walk out and see the ocean. There are also a couple of fish tanks from the North Carolina Acquarium that are fun for the kids It's free to go into the building and see the tanks/gift shop. But there... More
