Description
Sunset at the Hilton Pier
Watching the sunset over the James River at the Hilton Pier in Newport News, Virginia is a regular pastime for many photographers, couples, fishermen and tourists. The sunsets are incredibly beautiful, especially after a storm.
The Hilton Pier is a park located in the Hilton Village historic district in Newport News, Virginia. It is maintained by the Newport News Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. The Hilton Pier is located behind Hilton Elementary School on the James River. The Ravine portion of the park is located on the northwest side of Hilton Elementary School and comprises a small wooded ravine and some footpaths.
The Hilton Pier was first built in 1918 as part of the development of Hilton Village. The pier was a favorite spot for local recreational fishing for decades and has been rebuilt a number of times due to storm damage and weathering. Most recently, on September 18, 2003, the pier was destroyed by the high winds and surging tides of Hurricane Isabel.
Plans to rebuild the pier started almost immediately. It was reopened in May 2005
