Oak Island Pier — Attraction in Oak Island

Very clean pier, multiple trash cans, butt cans, and fishing line recyclers. Pier staff were very friendly. It's free to walk down but you have to pay to fish, like most piers. Access to the beach, water hose to spray off. There is a public bathroom but it's only one stall. There are two little restaurants right by the pier house, the grill was too busy for us to try out but the little cafe was good. The pier house supplies basic fishing needs and bait, but we had stopped at a different tackle store before we hit the pier. You can drink at this pier but only what you buy from the pier house. Nice little community, family friendly. Wish it was longer. All in all, had fun...

What a great fishing pier! I just visited it this summer. I can't wait to go back and fish off of it this fall. You can walk it for 50 cents and kids are free. They have cold beer available as well which not all piers have. North Carolina piers have a very rich history and I am grateful for each one which is kept open and maintained. The Yaupon Pier is no different, it is the tallest pier in NC, was built in 1955, rebuilt in 1972 and again in 1992. It is an asset to the East Coast. Be sure to read about its history and visit it if you have the chance! The bait shop has clothing, snacks, tackle, bait, and food- everything you could...

Beautiful beach. There is generally a cost to park here but since we arrived after 6pm it wasn't in effect. We ate at a restaurant on the beach and then watched the sun go down, the beach and pier was open untill 11pm. Pier was free to walk on but I think there was a fee if you were planning on fishing from it. It made for Beautiful sunset pictures and wasn't as crowded as I expected it to be. We had a fantastic time walking along the beach and pier at and after sunset watching the waves and the little crabs running out of our way. It was a fantastic experience and I will 100% be visiting there again on...
