The Hawthornes Have Breakfast At Nags Head Pier Then Take A Stroll On Jennette's Pier.

When XKT was here last week 

visiting with vacationing Brother XKT and family,

I joined them for breakfast

at Nags Head Fishing Pier.

This is one of my favorite places for breakfast.

The views are excellent.

The service is always wonderful.

The waitresses are always delightful.

The food is always good.

And the coffee is great.

Did I mention the scenery?

 On to Jeanette's Pier.

One can buy plaques on the pier.

 The fish would not stop swimming

for me to shoot a picture of them.

 We went upstairs to Oceanview Hall, a 3500 square foot room

which rents for $4500 for a five-hour event.

It has a 1638 square foot covered porch 

which wraps around the east and south sides.

Here, nearly 1000 feet from shore, the water is about 25 feet deep.

Big fish, such as 100 pound tarpon and cobia

 or 50 pound red drum and king mackerel

 may swim close to the end of the pier.

When conditions are just right 

in the summer and late fall,

small Atlantic sailfish and dolphin

usually found more than twenty miles offshore in the Gulf Stream,

may surprise a lucky fisherman.
