Made possible by a grant from the Outer Banks Community Foundation, The Power of Art is a program that serves special groups in need or with limited access to arts programming and education. The objective of the program is to help those with disabilities and difficulties discover an outlet to express themselves by providing the opportunity to create and make critical decisions through unique art programs.
In addition to great fishing, exhibits and views of the Atlantic, Jennette's Pier offers a fun gift shop! Stop in for the perfect souvenir or gift to take home with you.
Jennette’s Pier is a state-of-the-art educational center and fishing pier. It's the newest Outer Banks attraction, drawing thousands of visitors each year. Owned and operated by the N.C. Aquariums, Jennette’s Pier was awarded the coveted Platinum LEED Certification by the U. S. Green Building Council in 2012. In addition to its three iconic wind turbines towering over the pier, the green facility boosts a unique reclaimed water system and geothermal wells that provide heating and cooling.
(4:30 to 7:30 p.m.) There’s no better way to wind down a day than a boat ride, and we make sure this is one fun boat ride. We’ll pull crab pots and trawl for shrimp and send you home with your catch. Bring a cooler with snacks and drinks for this one.
(1 to 4 p.m.) When the crew is tired of the beach, a little time on the water is just the ticket. We not only catch shrimp and crabs on our charters, but also show you the sights of the Croatan and Roanoke sounds. You’ll see lighthouses and marsh islands and most likely dolphins. You’ll enjoy the shaded area of our boat on hot afternoons.
Inside the pier house you'll find numerous aquatic exhibits!
Our new Life on the Ledge exhibit is a 3,000 gallon vertical aquarium home to myriad eels and fish.
Our Life In a Drop of Water exhibit explains all about microscopic life forms live in a drop of ocean water.
Our Life Under the Pier exhibit allows you to submerge yourself in the watery world found beneath Jennette's Pier by peering into the Pier Piling Aquarium.
