Sunny Daze Smokehouse opened in May 2024 at 9 Pavilion Ave S, Carolina Beach. The idea came from wanting a place that felt true to the classic North Carolina boardwalk. The goal was simple: bring strong BBQ flavor to a spot where people could relax, look out at the ocean, and enjoy the beach atmosphere.
Our BBQ Style! 🍖
We focus on in-house smoked meats and scratch-made sauces. Everything is prepared on-site, giving our food a strong, steady flavor that fits the coastal setting. Our menu reaches many different tastes, from BBQ lovers to people who want lighter options.
A Spot with a View
Our second-floor rooftop overlooks the boardwalk and the water. Visitors often talk about the calm ocean view and the live music that fills the space. The open-air seating and beach mural help create a fun, easygoing setup that matches the Carolina Beach vibe.
What Makes Us Different ✨
We smoke our meats daily. Our sauces are made from scratch. Our rooftop view gives you a real boardwalk experience. We offer a wide menu, gluten-free options, and a lively space with live music. These are the things that helped us get nominated for Best of Wilmington 2025.
Why Visit
If you want strong BBQ flavor, ocean views, and a space built for everyone, this is the place. Come by 9 Pavilion Ave S, Carolina Beach and enjoy coastal BBQ with a style that fits the boardwalk.
