Harbor Masters serves its last meal

CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WECT) – A popular restaurant and bar in Carolina Beach reportedly served its last meal Sunday.

Harbor Masters opened on Canal Drive in 2008 and was known for its dock-and-dine option and attractive waterfront views.

It is unclear why the restaurant closed, but the owner told The Wilmington Business Journal “the lack of business and the seasonal nature of the Carolina Beach market contributed to his decision.”
