Johnnie Mercers Fishing Pier
The first concrete fishing pier in the state of North Carolina, located in the heart of Wrightsville Beach, extends more than 1200 feet into the Atlantic Ocean. The pier was rebuilt after the hurricanes of 1996, Bertha and Fran, caused extensive damange to the original wooden pier. Bob and Shirley Johnson, along with their son, Matthew, took on the monumental task of building this state of the art concrete pier, reopening its doors in 2001. Johnnie Mercers Pier is a must see for anyone visiting the Wrightsville Beach/ Wilmington area. Come join us for a walk out on the pier and enjoy the calming sounds of the ocean while relaxing in the breathtaking views, especially at sunrise and sunset.
Johnnie Mercers Fishing Pier offers amazing fishing year round with a full service tackle shop with a wide selection of rods and reels, along with bait/lures to meet all of your fishing needs. We also offer rental rods to those who want to try their hand at fishing and don’t have a rod with them. Our knowledgable staff will gladly assist you in any way possible to help make your fishing experience a memorable one with us. For the kids, don’t forget to get an offical certificate making them certified anglers at Johnnie Mercers Pier when they catch their first fish!
