About Us

For generations, the Nags Head Pier has been a cherished Outer Banks landmark—a place where families gather, anglers cast a line, and visitors start their day with a breathtaking sunrise over the Atlantic.

When Kevin and Connie Nielsen set out to restore the pier, their goal wasn't to change what made it special. They simply wanted to preserve its legacy while creating an even better experience for the people who love it. Today, the Nags Head Pier remains everything it's always been—just with a thoughtful refresh. It's still a place to fish from the boards, watch the waves roll in, and stay in charming cottages just steps from the sand.

To complete the experience, Kevin and Connie partnered with Robert and Susan Stanovsek to bring exceptional food, drinks, and hospitality to the property. Whether you're enjoying a meal at the Pier House Café, relaxing with a cocktail and live music at Off the Hook Beach Bar, or grabbing a morning coffee or afternoon ice cream from Beaches & Cream, you'll enjoy some of the best ocean views in Nags Head.

Everything you need for the perfect beach day is right here at the foot of the pier—fishing, oceanfront cottages, great food, refreshing drinks, coffee, ice cream, and unforgettable views.

Come experience the Nags Head Pier for yourself and discover why it has remained a favorite destination on the Outer Banks for generations.
