Description
Oak Island Beach Pier, North Carolina USA.
The pier was originally built in 1955 and was known as the "Yaupon Pier," a nod to Yaupon Beach, the original town in this region of Oak Island, and the current community where it resides. Though it weathered a number of hard hitting hurricanes, including Floyd in 1999 and Irene in 2011, the pier had to be rebuilt twice during its lifespan: once in 1972 and again in 1992. The current structure is a straight 908' foot long wooden series of planks that extends into the Atlantic Ocean, and at 27' feet above sea level, is currently the highest pier in North Carolina.
Thank you for looking at my Photography!!!
