Jennette's Pier, the oldest fishing pier on North Carolina's Outer Banks, was built in 1939. This historic ocean landmark has weathered dozens of hurricanes and nor'easters over the past six decades.
Owned by the North Carolina Aquarium Society The oldest fishing pier on the Outer Banks provides a great fishing experience for the entire family. The main exhibit, Giants of the Sea, showcases state-record trophy fish mounts and five aquariums with indigenous fish species on display. The pier also houses an outpost for the North Carolina Aquarium Education Department, which offers a wide variety of coastal educational opportunities for children of all ages. Aquarium education classes run Monday - Friday between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

| 6 of 6 people found this review helpful: | | Value: |  | Service: |  | | | Excellent | | By Outer Banks Guy on 7/24/2008 | | Very unfortunate that this pier had been swept away to sea, but the Roanoke Island Aquarium raised 2 million dollars for renovation, me and my father would walk there every day, the people were so nice, they would always greet us. The Staff would ask ''Hows the surf?,'' or ''What are you guys up to?'' I love this place and cant wait for the new 1000 foot pier to be done! | |
