Built in 1962, the Avon Fishing Pier holds the honor of having been the first pier on Hatteras Island. Over the years, the wooden 600-foot pier has played an important role in establishing the Outer Banks as an exceptional destination for fishermen; one of the most impressive events took place in 1984, when a record-breaking 94 lb. red drum was caught off the pier. Fishermen still flock to the pier in the hopes of catching their own giant red drum, but the pier also attracts visitors interested in going for a stroll and enjoying the beautiful view.
