This image is a corner of Uglie Mugs Coffee Shop, a cute little coffee and pastry shop less than a quarter mile from the beach. My mom, sisters, aunt, and cousin walk here once or twice during our week-long stay.
This is the welcome sign when visitors walk onto the Avon Pier. People can often be seen fishing on top of it or surfing below it. The pier has suffered some damage in recent years as hurricanes have ravaged Hatteras Island, though it is always rebuilt and restored.
