ATLANTIC BEACH, N.C. (WITN) - A fishing pier on the Crystal Coast remains closed as damage from Hurricane Erin is being assessed.

Waves some 15 to 20 feet high crashed into the Oceanana Pier as the hurricane passed by the coast.

In a social media post, the Oceanana Family Motel said they are having engineers come in to confirm that there is no major damage. “After our first looks we do not think there is any major damage and we have started making some repairs,” said the post.

Oceanana says their restaurant remains open, while they hope to reopen the pier in a few days.
