This photograph portrays the Avon Fishing Pier which stands off the coast of Hatteras Island in Avon, North Carolina. The Avon Pier opened its doors in 1962, and was the last pier to be built on Hatteras Island. Today, it remains open to the public through out the fishing season (early spring through late fall).

Avon Pier is 600 feet long, and is visibly twisted and buckled due to repairs that took place more than two decades ago, in the 1980's. The most recent damage to the pier before this photograph was taken is from Hurricane Sandy, in 2012.

The Avon Pier gift shop boasts a great collection of fishing gear for sale or rent, and expert guides to help you make the most of your fishing trip. A wonderful place to visit in Outer Banks, North Carolina.
