The ONLY place we buy fresh seafood. And the best place to buy your fishing bait - who knows better than the locals what to eat and how to catch it. Be sure to grab a container of their crab dip and a homemade key lime pie too.

We recommend you go to Koko Cabana for drinks and appetizers at sunset (meals are a bit overpriced in our opinion). It sits at the base of the Oak Island Pier. The breeze and view are worth it. Afterwards take a walk on the pier or beach.

You have to eat here if you go to Southport. You dine outside at the marina watching the ships sail in. What could be better? Food is casual, crowd is friendly, sunsets are breathtaking. You must try the tuna plate pictured above - it's awesome!
Note: dining is currently not open during high tide (2020 hurricane season shifted the tide line such that parking is cut off during high tide).
