History Johnnie Mercers Fishing Pier is an iconic landmark that stands as a tribute to the rich maritime heritage of the Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington area. Its origins date back to the mid-20th century, when local fishing communities, eager to establish a reliable and safe platform for both sport and commercial fishing, began to shape what would later become a cherished coastal asset.
