Built in 1923 by L. C. Kure, this 22-foot-wide, 712-foot-long wooden structure is the oldest continuously operated family-owned pier in North Carolina.

Permits are good from midnight to midnight and cost $5 for one rod and reel per person and $12 for a king mackerel permit allowing three rods. The pier is handicapped accessible.
