Bogue Inlet Pier opens for 2025 season
'First day for the 2025 season. This is my 53rd year here,' Owner Mike Stanley said. 'It's been a long time, but it's been a lot of fun and you meet a lot of people and we have a really good time.'
The Bogue Inlet Pier is a top spot for locals around Emerald Isle. It's a great place to hang out on the Emerald Isle beach, catch fish, and enjoy a walk on the pier.
'We haven't changed a whole lot, we've been consistent over the years. We have the fishing pier and of course, the beach is amazing in Emerald Isle,' Stanley said. 'We have a restaurant, ice cream shop, all of our convenience store stuff for people to come too. Just come down, get a beer and walk on the pier and have a good time. It doesn't cost anything to walk on the pier either.'
The pier is opening in conjunction with the island's Saint Patrick's Day Festival. Stanley said the pier will get even busier as they head into the spring and summer months.
'This place will just all of the sudden take off, and we will have a busy winter. There's been a lot of people here this winter,' Stanley said. 'We won't feel a whole lot of difference probably sometime until June and July when it really explodes.'

Exclusive-Indonesia plans $8 billion refineries contract with US firm amid tariffs deal, sources say
By Stefanno Sulaiman and Dewi Kurniawati JAKARTA (Reuters) -Indonesian sovereign wealth fund Danantara plans to sign an $8 billion engineering, procurement and construction contract with U.S. engineering firm KBR Inc to build 17 modular refineries, according to two sources familiar with the matter and an official economic ministry presentation seen by Reuters. The contract is part of last week's trade pact between Indonesia and the United States that led to a reduction in the threatened U.S. proposed tariff rate to 19% from 32%. Indonesian Economic Minister Airlangga Hartarto, the chief negotiator of the deal, disclosed the modular refinery plan during a closed-door briefing to Indonesian business leaders on Monday evening. Two sources confirmed the planned deal was mentioned in a presentation that Reuters also reviewed. Danantara and KBR Inc, formerly known as Kellogg Brown & Root, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. While some details of the trade deal between the United States and Indonesia have been made public, such as for increased energy cooperation, the proposed contract for refineries has not previously been reported.
