The beach is undeniably picturesque, but it falls short of being a desirable destination. The sand is coarse and the water is murky, making it an unappealing spot for swimming. While it may be a decent location to pass the time, it certainly isn't a place that one would seek out specifically. The sunrise may be noteworthy, but it is hardly worth the effort to visit this lackluster beach.

In early September, we ventured to OBX for the first time and were pleasantly surprised by the serene and stunning beaches. Despite it being a popular time for travel, we found the beaches to be peaceful and uncrowded, making it effortless to access them even on bicycles. The natural beauty of the area was truly breathtaking, and we couldn't have asked for a better beach experience.

Every year, a visit to The Pier is an absolute must. Its quirky and uneven boards, along with its winding path, lead to a plethora of vibrant individuals perched at the end, regaling each other with stories of their biggest catches and the ones that got away. There's always a sense of hierarchy among the fishermen, with a deep-rooted respect for each other's knowledge and expertise. The atmosphere is serene until a massive fishing rod bends and the sound of the line being spooled out from the reel's drag fills the air. Suddenly, The Pier bursts to life, and all eyes are fixed on the spectacle. Don't miss out on the chance to enjoy The Pier.

What a stunning spot for all the anglers out there! The pier is a spectacle to behold, and you can even catch a glimpse of the sun rising over the horizon. Just be warned, if you're not fishing, you'll have to cough up a hefty $15 for parking. But hey, why not make the most of it and grab a bite from Stu's food truck while you're at it? It's a win-win situation!

The beach offers of a fantastic pier that houses a lovely store. The amenities provided are top-notch, including well-maintained restrooms. What's more, the presence of a fish-cleaning station with running water is an added advantage that I always look forward to. The benches scattered around the beach are a welcome sight and provide a perfect spot to relax and take in the beautiful scenery. I've visited this beach twice and was lucky enough to catch my first shark, and my child did the same, making it a memorable experience.
