If I said I am a super outdoorsy person, I would be such a phony. In theory I love nature, but in reality I do not enjoy some of the elements that come with it. I hate heat and bugs. Oddly enough, I've always enjoyed fishing. I find it relaxing. I talked my husband into taking me to go pier fishing a few years ago. We went early March, so there was still a chill in the air. When pier fishing, it gets pretty windy. Here is a photo of my husband all bundled up.
We weren't successful at catching anything, but it was still a nice visit and pretty relaxing to listen to the waves crash against the pier. I saw a huge shark while we were fishing, which I found intimidating since that was my first time ever spotting a shark in the ocean. I love this area because there are many beaches around including Wrightsville Beach, Kure Beach, Carolina Beach. I've been to all the piers at each beach, and out of the three, Kure Beach's pier is my favorite just because there is a shop on it that sells the best ice cream!
