Water is in the mid 70's. Great for fishing and swimming. Above, what Floyd left of the old pier. For those of you that have not seen the devastation left by Floyd, you can see the storm just did not leave much. Tommy Thomes has done a masterful job at rebuilding the pier and motel.
All new construction is great for fishing.
The observation deck was built specifically with the spectator in mind. From the observation deck one has a great view of the pier, island and ocean. The Long Beach Pier and Oak Island are not just for fishing. While the Long Beach Pier is famed for great fishing, it is also a great place to bring the family. All the great things of a white sand beach, without the noise.
