Make a pre-lunch stop at Fibber McGees to grab a beer (you are on vacation after all!) and one of their delicious seafood appetizers. Such as seared Ahi Tuna. Or the grouper bites and flash fried calamari. An added bonus is that this charming Irish pub located behind a colonial facade is a smoke-free environment. Clean and tasteful, this bar is a great option if you have a family in tow with you. Located in Sunset Beach itself, Fibber McGees is conveniently close to which ever lovely house you choose to stay in.


Waterfront Seafood Shack

For lunch you will want to stop by the Waterfront Seafood Shack where you can get some of the freshest seafood at an extremely reasonable price in Calabash, NC. The atmosphere is adorable and just what you would expect of a local seafood stand. All the seafood they serve is truly fresh - it has never been frozen since coming out of the sea. Plus, everything is wild caught, not farm raised, making this a very healthy stop for you, despite the delectable french fries and fried fish.


Ella’s of Calabash

Ella’s was established in 1950 by Lawrence and Ella High. After years of fishing to support their family, they decided to expand there business venture and cook their catch. Which is when they opened a one room restaurant. Later they expanded it in 1980 to the establishment it is now. They still serve deliciously fresh fish and other seafood, along with delicious and indulgent hushpuppies. And of course the requisite french fries and coleslaw. It is a delightful place that you need to check out on your next Sunset Beach vacation, perfect for the entire family no matter the age or noise level of your children.
