How many storms?
The Avon Fishing Pier was the first pier constructed on Hatteras Island, opening its doors in 1963. It was instrumental in expanding the southern Outer Banks' reputation as a world-class fishing destination when a world-record breaking red drum, weighing in at a little over 94 pounds, was caught just yards away from the pier structure in 1984. Since then, red drum hunters have flocked to the Avon Fishing Pier in hopes of making their own record-breaking catch. The pier is showing signs of age and to me is one of fishing pier with more character at the Outer Banks. The pier has been hit by many storms and hurricanes, nevertheless it is still there showing its resiliency.
