Stretching about 600 feet into the Atlantic Ocean, Avon Fishing Pier opened its doors in 1963 and was the final pier to be built on Hatteras Island. With its excellent fishing, unbeatable surf and breathtaking scenery, Avon Pier remains one of Cape Hatteras' most frequented locations and a center point of the Avon community. The pier is a hotspot for red drum, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, flounder, sea mullet, pompano and spot (depending on the season), and the pier house offers bait, tackle, gear rentals, snacks, cold drinks and beer, apparel and gifts. Under new ownership as part of the Avon Pier & RV Resort, this is also the setting for a live music venue.
