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.

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!
