Food scene

Island Jo is a wonderful coffee shop that offers breakfast and lunch. We love their bacon, egg, and cheese croissants and cinnamon twists. They do have outdoor seating, but currently not allowing guests to dine indoors.

This is a walk-up Mexican place. They have amazing tacos, burritos, nachos, and quesadillas. Check out some of the specials and surf and turf tacos. You can call in your order or walk up, and they do have outdoor picnic tables. Their drink selection is limited, but their food is amazing! Be prepared to wait a while if you come during the busy hours of lunch/dinnertime.

Swain Seafood may not look like much from the outside, but their seafood is amazing. They have delicious desserts (cakes, brownies, cheesecake) which you can order to go or for dine in. We suggest a reservation if you are planning to go during the peak season. They also take call in orders for take out.

if you're looking for an amazing sunset, a place for a picnic, or cool spot to check out a different beach, the point is amazing! It is essentially "the point" of Oak Island so be prepared to drive a little to get to the end, but the sunsets are the best!
