Coastal North Carolina Fishing Piers
If you know little bit about the history of the North Carolina coastline, you realize one of the quickly disappearing resources are our fishing piers. These monuments of our coastal North Carolina fishing heritage (the few that still exist) have been ravaged by the effects of recent hurricanes, battering storms and now coastal NC real estate development. One only has to see what is happening in Atlantic Beach with the Triple S Pier to realize these fixtures of the Crystal Coast are rapidly fading away.
Connected to the Oceanana Family Resort Motel, this lighted Coastal Carolina fishing pier offers the lowest priced fishing passes on
the Crystal Coast. Motel guests fish for free in the off-season. A North Carolina CRFL Salt Water license is not require when fishing from the Oceanana Pier. A blanket pass is provided by the pier and the Oceanana Pier also rents rods and reels. Onsite facilities include an arcade, a bait and tackle shop with snack bar with grill. A delicious breakfast and lunch menu is available for fishermen and beachgoers at the grill. Plenty of onsite parking is available.
