“ATLANTIC VIEW”
Julian Morton, of the same family that owned Grandfather Mountain, originally built the Atlantic View Pier in 1930. Then sold it to Johnny Mercer in 1939, who renamed it after himself. Over its history, Johnny Mercer Pier has weathered several significant storms, including Hurricane Hazel in 1954. However, it was Fran and Bertha in 1996 that ultimately led to this rickety wooden structure’s demise. Now rebuilt, it stands as North Carolina’s first concrete pier, stretching twelve-hundred feet into the Atlantic Ocean and engineered to withstand winds up to two-hundred miles per hour.
