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.
