About Ocean Crest Pier:
Ocean Crest Pier has been a part of Oak Island for many years. And while times come and go, one thing about Ocean Crest Pier that makes it so special are our fisher-women and fishermen. Many of them become life-long friends. Memories are made and friendship are born here. And that’s the way we like it!
Ocean Crest is part of a heritage that dates back to the 1960’s with the Cherry Grove Fishing Pier and the Prince family. The ocean, family and friends made Cherry Grove the place to be in North Myrtle Beach. And the Prince’s wanted to bring that same experience to Oak Island. So buying Ocean Crest in early 2000, along with the Andrews family, they went to work to build an experience for all to enjoy.
