Good forOutdoor lovers
The first pier built on Hatteras Island, Avon Pier opened in 1963 and stretches approximately 600 feet into the Atlantic. Its claim on serious anglers hardened in 1984, when a world-record red drum — just over 94 pounds — was caught yards from the structure. The pier remains the only operating pier within Cape Hatteras National Seashore, run by a park concessionaire. Come for the king mackerel platform if you know what you're doing. Come to watch if you don't — yet.
