The front of the restaurant is pretty, but it's when you see what's off the back of the restaurant that you'll get really excited.

But this deck isn't typical. It stretches all the way down the beach and right into the ocean!

It's the only wooden pier in town, and it extends about 475 feet into the ocean. In addition to providing dining for the restaurant, it acts as a public pier for fishing.

Does it get any better than that?

...but the chef at Oceanic has done just that.

The Chipotle Atlantic Salmon and Shrimp is fresh and flavorful.

Every item on the menu is sourced locally whenever possible. Oceanic Restaurant is a dedicated member of the Wrightsville Beach community.

The gumbo at Oceanic is rich and hearty.

Your biggest problem will be deciding what to order!

Sipping a cocktail as the sun sets over the pier? Yes, please.

You'll definitely want to save some room.

Just as you thought the scenery couldn't get better, Mother Nature turns everything into soft shades of pink and lavender.

That whole "long walks on the beach with the sunset" thing might be cliche...but you can't deny that it's super romantic.

Enjoy some French toast, an omelet, or breakfast sandwich. With a mimosa, of course.

The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm; Sunday from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm.
