Sharkys is a must visit restaurant when I visit Ocean Isle. I've been to Sharkys before or after every wedding that i have photographed at Ocean Isle. In addition to Sharkys, I have another new favorite place just across the bridge called The Causeway Gourmet. Following the wedding we arrive at The Causeway gourmet just before closing. The staff was very accommodating and prepared some delicious sandwiches for us.
This particular weekend was also the weekend of the NC Oyster Festival. I was a bit concerned about making trip between several destinations during the day because of the expected crowd. I am happy to say the the traffic control was on top of things and the crowd never became an issue for us during the day.
We had a wonderful day of food and wedding photography and were happy to retire for a good nights sleep. Beside discovering an new restaurant I was very pleased with the accommodations provided at the Winds Resort Beach club. This will definitely be the place I crash after future wedding gigs at Ocean Isle Beach.
The following day was just as beautiful as the previous and we spent some time on the beach as well as visiting the festival grounds to see tons of crafts and sample some food.
