Wrightsville Beach Restaurants & Nightlife

With the sand and surf just steps away, our new restaurant and bar will soon become a favorite place to enjoy a buffet breakfast or a pleasant dinner on the beach. Shell Island Resort’s on-site restaurant features reasonably priced, standard American cuisine in a relaxed setting with both indoor and outdoor seating options.

Guests looking to venture outside of the Shell Island Resort can visit one of the many options in the Wrightsville Beach area just a 5-minute drive from the resort, or in downtown Wilmington 20 minutes away. Our favorites are listed below.
