Sharky's Waterfront Restaurant & Marina — Ocean Isle Beach, NC
Waterfront Restaurant + Marina
OUR STORY
FINE FOOD
& FLIP
FLOPS
Tucked under the bridge where the Intracoastal meets the sea, Sharky's has been Ocean Isle Beach's gathering place since 1990. What started as takeout and delivery has evolved into a waterfront destination where fresh Carolina seafood meets laid-back surf culture.
Run by a family of surfers and built on a foundation of fresh catches, cold drinks, and Jimmy Buffett on the speakers — Sharky's is where flip-flops are the dress code and every table has a view worth staying for.
COME AS YOU ARE
BY LAND, SEA, OR AIR
Pull up by boat, paddle in on a kayak, or just roll in off the bridge — Sharky's has been the waterfront hangout on Ocean Isle Beach since 1990. Cold drinks, fresh seafood, live music on the deck, and the best sunset view on the island.
