    Every beach visit I have been to they always have a board walk lined with little shops and food places. I was curious as if this would be the same and if they had a boardwalk at all.  more »

    You get a great perspective of the ocean when you walk out on the pier. You can also fish off it if you pay a little extra. They close down during the off season but you can still get a decent view from the deck even when they're closed. If you go underneath the pier there are some good photo opportunities. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the area.

    I went there not to fish but to check out the house that was falling into the ocean. This was a major vantage point. I was alone but treated like family. I sat on the pier and watched the balcony of that house drop into the ocean! I sat alone on a bench and watched the other people fish. It was relaxing and I enjoyed being out over the water without pay to be on the water. Note: Rodanthe Pier is a very reasonable fishing pier. They offer rental poles and sell bait. Best of all you do not need a NC fishing license to fish off their pier. I was impressed with their customer service and advice on what else was around there. I spent a couple hrs there and never was I pressured to rent fishing equipment or buy bait or anything else. I was welcome to just sit on their pier and live vicariously off others experiences.

    We take our kids to the Rodanthe Pier every year to fish. Family friendly fishing experience and nice employees. Always a hit while on vacation on OBX.

    Pretty run down and some loose railings but the water is deep. Good fishing usually.
