On Crystal Pier at Wrightsville Beach, the Oceanic Restaurant and bar delivers fresh Atlantic seafood and cold cocktails from a setting that extends directly over the ocean on one of the most beautiful piers on the North Carolina coast. The Crystal Pier sunset views are extraordinary; the fresh local catch is consistent; and the experience of eating fresh shrimp and flounder on a pier with the Atlantic below and the Wilmington skyline in the distance is one of the Southeast coast’s most genuinely distinctive waterfront dining experiences.
Worth pairing with the rest of beach bars on the Outer Banks.
