At Jennette's Pier, stroll along the boardwalk and cast your line into the Atlantic Ocean. Originally built in 1939, this pier offers a chance to catch king mackerel, cobia, flounder, and many more species. You can book a stand-up paddle-board tour or private fishing lesson. The new pier and pier house were constructed in 2011 after the original pier's destruction during Hurricane Isabel in 2003. Visit the pier house to see the aquarium and educational exhibits focused on ethical fishing, marine science, and conservation. The area also offers surfing, kite-boarding, outdoor music festivals, and food festivals. Plan to visit Jennette's Pier during your Nags Head vacation using our convenient Nags Head day trip site .

  We stopped just to walk the pier. The pier is clean and well kept. Everyone working there was friendly. This is a great place to visit when in Nags Head. It was a very windy day so noone was fishing. There is plenty of room for fishing and benches to sit on. Inside there is a small gift shop with souvenirs and snacks. Fishing licenses are sold here also. The cost is $2 per person and well worth the view you get on the pier. We look forward to coming back next year.

  I always love coming to Jennette's with my family, catching fish and enjoying the view. The staff is very helpful and always very friendly, they have a stocked gift shop that includes drinks and snacks, and there are always nice people on the pier willing to help if you're having difficulty. Also, the pier is build very sturdy and is very clean for a fishing pier. It's not very loud and I a great place to visit.
