Jennette’s Pier
Get up close and personal with the Atlantic Ocean! Jennette’s Pier is the most recently constructed pier on the Outer Banks, but it has been a local and tourist hot-spot since 1939. The original pier structure collapsed after Hurricane Isabel in 2003, and work on rebuilding the pier began in 2009. In May of 2011, Jennette’s Pier was reopened to sightseers, fisherman, and curious visitors and locals. The pier is owned by the Outer Banks Aquarium, and schedules a variety of summertime aquatic educational programs. Jennette’s Pier offers some of the best fishing on the Outer Banks, a gift shop, an educational center, and a large public beach access; there is something for everyone!
