Favorite local eatery

Great local place to eat any meal. The owners are very friendly and serve delicious food! Get there early though because they are a popular spot on the island.
Fresh local food, good scene, you can bring your kids and take home their frisbee plate afterwards.

Walk from the beach to the Lazy Turtle off of the sand and sit gazing at the ocean while you enjoy a yummy cheeseburger or BLT! Be patient, as they can get busy. Right at the Oak Island Pier, it is not far from our condo if you're relaxing at the beach access and want to walk down for lunch.

A couple blocks away, Island Jo is a good place to go in the morning for coffee and a bagel/muffin to get your day started right. There may be a line, so go early and it is worth the wait.
