The Oceanic

Oceanic at Crystal Pier is Wrightsville Beach's only oceanfront restaurant and pier, set on the historic Crystal Pier — first built in 1939 — extending into the Atlantic Ocean along North Carolina's coast. The venue offers both indoor and outdoor event spaces alongside coastal-inspired cuisine. Inside, three private spaces accommodate events of different sizes: the Mira Mar Loft on the third floor, the entire second floor, and the Lumina Room — each named in homage to the property's history. The Crystal Pier itself can be reserved for wedding ceremonies, deck parties, and private dinners over the water. A dedicated Private Events Team assists with space selection, menu planning, and floorplan coordination, and draws on an extensive list of preferred vendors including florists, photographers, and DJs.
