Oceanic at the Crystal Pier

Our Coastal Cuisine

Oceanfront Dining

Our culinary philosophy relates directly to our surroundings. We are lucky enough to be situated right on the Atlantic Ocean with access to a multitude of local fisheries. This means we can provide our guests with the freshest and most flavorful catch. Our passion for locally sourced seafood is demonstrated in the dishes we serve. Tuna, shrimp, little neck clams, oysters, flounder and Mahi-Mahi are just a sampling of what the Atlantic waters provide for our Chef.


Walk-ins are always welcome, and we seat on a first come, first seated basis. We are not currently accepting reservations.
If you are coming with a large group of over 8 guests we recommend calling ahead to let us know so we can prepare a table.

Our Story

Deeply Rooted History

In 1990, Oceanic opened near where Lumina, a popular entertainment center in the early 1900's, once stood. Oceanic was named after a popular hotel destroyed in the Great Fire of Wrightsville Beach in 1934.
