Hot showers, picnic tables, and a few grills are on-site. If you’d rather not cook, you can grab a pizza from Lisa’s Pizzeria right next door. Pets are allowed. Reservations are recommended.

Description: After massive poundings by Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd, this pier collapsed in 1999. Even the land on which the pier house stood disappeared due to storm erosion. The land was refilled and in 2000 the pier reopened, a little farther back from its original location. The pier house sells drinks, snacks, sandwiches, tackle, and bait. The pier and pier house are open every day in the summer, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. from Memorial Day to Labor Day and 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. the rest of the season. The Rodanthe pier is closed Jan 1 through Apr 1.
