Oceanic at the Crystal Pier

Perched right on Wrightsville Beach's Crystal Pier since 1990, Oceanic serves seafood pulled straight from the Atlantic waters it looks out over — tuna, shrimp, little neck clams, oysters, flounder, and mahi-mahi are just a sampling of what the kitchen works with. The dining room and covered pier deck both look straight out over the ocean, with lunch and dinner daily, Sunday brunch, and live music on the pier through the summer.
