A Guide to Wilmington, North Carolina, Where ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Was Filmed | Vogue
"I noticed that the show's charity volleyball tournament was filmed at Capt’n Bill’s Backyard Grill & Volleyball Facility—while it looks like beach volleyball on screen, the courts are actually on sand in a northern, inland neighborhood (handy when the weather turns), and the site also has a grill and on-site brewery, making it a lively place to spend a sunny day." - Nicole Kliest
The ambiance is calm and laid-back. The food was tasty and the staff provided excellent service. Visitors can sit back and watch volleyball games while grabbing a bite and having a drink.

Didn't eat here but the beers were good and the atmosphere was so much fun! They really know what they are doing here.

I loved visiting here with my best friend on our weekend trip to Wilmington since this is where they filmed the volleyball scene on the summer I turned pretty. However, the entrees and margarita were just okay. The service was fine and the nachos were delicious though!

Great place to play volleyball and have fun. Even if you’re there to watch it’s fun, everyone seems to be having a great time and a very friendly crowd. If you’re at all interested in a social sport I would check it out. If looks like there are leagues for all levels of play. Reasonable priced beer and good food is available as well.

Large portion of fried oysters. But fries were a little soggy. Good portions for the price. Mahi blackened tacos were tasty and spicy Sriracha cream a good addition. Beers are awesome and food is good.

You have to look for this place and it's a fantastic find! Good local folks own this and other establishments in Wilmington and have well trained staff. Our food was very good and made fresh to order. I wish we had the time that evening to take advantage of the steamed oysters special. Oh the craft beer is excellent! I had the Scotch Ale and loved it. Dress casual and enjoy good food, good people and a good time.

Great place to hang out and have great food and drinks. We went last night and sat on the covered porch and it was perfect weather for this! The steamed oysters are always amazing. We got the fried seafood platters and they were spot on! The have some of the best hush puppies I have ever had! Service was awesome as well! This is my second trip and I will be back! Oh and BTW, best wings ever! Got the pretzel and beer cheese and it was delicious also.
