Great seafood! Nice patio and indoor seating with half circle bar and auquarium. No fried food. Fresh catches cooked however you like. Award winning chowder. They have a free shuttle service (tips appreciated) that can transport a large group.

Great find! Food is always very good. American/Southern fusion? Perfect place to take guests. Arrive early for parking in their lot if Friday, Saturday, or holiday.

Love their steamed oysters--we don't mind shucking--and breaded wings (medium sauce). Friendly bartenders. It's a small place and can have a wait, but worth it.

Really good Mexican food. Margaritas are great too. There's a separate bar in back for waiting. Usually fast service. Many like it for take-out, but we always eat in, sometimes on the balcony overlooking the street.

Glazed donuts that are really scrumptious! Should be only about a dollar each. Wait in line sometimes, or avoid the line by eating them inside the small diner-like open air room.

Food is always really good. It's a large bar, with booths and plenty of seating (usually) around bar or outside under umbrellas. Outside this establishment is the place to be to watch the fireworks display on Thursdays at dusk in the summer!

Small and intimate casual Italian restaurant in Kure Beach, a couple miles away. Pork chops are one of their specialties, but we like their red sauce dishes.

Local ingredients and seafood used to create amazingly delicious Caribbean flare dishes. Casual but intimate. Good for up to groups of four, and you make reservations by going to the website cbsaltfish.com and requesting a day and time. Diablo shrimp, fish of the day, and Saigon Style Noodles recommended as some of our faves.

Sightseeing and Relaxing
Supposedly a number one dive bar, and it is pretty original. Walk straight back into the "cool" refrigerator to pick out what you want, then the bartender will open it for you as you pay (credit card for over $10 only). Explore. The building and grounds are a hodge-podge of memorabilia, fun decor, signs, and lights. The floor is sand, mostly. Outside in their fenced area you will find nooks for sitting, chatting and sipping, or play a game of corn hole.

Large, modern aquarium with a variety of sea creatures and a bird sanctuary-exhibit nearby. Maybe see this place before you head by ferry to Southport one day.

A great place to watch the sand when it's not too breezy. The pier with tiki bar serves really good drinks (in plastic cups) and bar food. Inside is a bigger restaurant.

Thursday fireworks between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Go to the boardwalk and watch the most spectacular fireworks display on Thursday evenings in the summer, or head up to the crows nest and look south where you can see them in the distance.

Maybe Bring Cash before Heading to the Sand
Bring a few dollars in case you want to buy a cold treat from the guy with the Italian Ice cart, usually on weekends or around holidays. Also, you might decide to walk to the coffee shop two blocks away for something to eat or drink.

Walking on the Carolina Beach Boardwalk is Wonderful
The Carolina Beach Boardwalk is a long, wide, wooden walkway that borders the sand in town. It is lighted, and has occasional seats for resting. From it, you can see the water, and also see restaurants, shops, and bars inland. Among other places near the boardwalk are ice cream shops, a fudge shop, a pizza shop, a donut shop, a wine and coffee bar, rentals, and an arcade. It is only .8 mile away from Ocean Oasis and you can also get there by walking along the beach.
