North Beach Pier

History
1
A pier has stood on this site since the 1920's, when Captain Oscar Marshall's Crab House stood at the end of the pier facing a dance pavilion. The original pier was destroyed in the 1933 hurricane. A larger pier replaced it, including a lower deck where small boats were rented and a ballroom on the landward end. In 1954, Hurricane Hazel severely damaged the waterfront building and pier. In 1982, the town bought the waterfront and pier and rebuilt it. Now, as in the past, the pier draws fishermen and water gazers from around the region.
