Pier

7am – 10pm

Ocean Isle's original landmark — nearly a thousand feet of weathered wood stretching straight into the Atlantic — lined with benches, saltwater air, and the good kinda feeling you can't get anywhere else on the island.

Walk it for the views. Fish it for the fight. Or just sit on a bench with a cold beer from the pier and watch the birds do their thing. There's no wrong way to spend time out here.

The pier is open to anglers and sightseers alike. Grab a fishing pass at the desk — daily, weekly, or season — and fish under the pier's license so you don't need your own. Bring your gear or rent ours. Come & go as you please, and enjoy free parking while fishing. It's a fun activity for all ages and great way to make memories here in Ocean Isle.
