RODANTHE, North Carolina — There is an online fundraising effort underway to rebuild the Rodanthe Pier. The pier and tourist spot fell into the ocean after it was damaged by winter storms, according to Redbuilding Rodanthe GoFundMePage.

With a season reopening date of March 28th, the owners are doing their best to get the pier back together. As you can understand, the cost of this is more than one person can bare. Unfortunately, insurance only covers the pier house itself. It does not cover any other parts of the pier (i.e. anything that extends into the ocean or under the sand).

The effort has raised nearly $3,000 in one day. The group hopes to raise $50,000 through the website.
