Fishing, Space Invaders, and Ice Cream

You’re probably wondering what on earth fishing, Space Invaders, and Ice Cream have in common. They are all family-friendly activities that you can find on the Ocean Isle Beach Pier. Whether you want to try your luck wetting a line or being a pinball wizard there is something for everyone in your family on the pier. Looking for a snack? The pier has food ranging from pizza, ice cream or cold soda… the pier has you covered. Don’t worry, that diet will be there when you get back home. Of course, you don’t have to fish or play the arcade to make wonderful memories. Watching the waves roll in off the Atlantic is just as much an Ocean Isle Beach tradition as fishing.
