Close your eyes. Take a bite.
You taste the rich, creamy filling.
The crunch of toasted pecans.
The hint of sea salt that makes your taste buds sing.
And just like that — you’re transported.
Not to a kitchen.
But to a sunny porch on the Carolina coast, where the breeze is warm, the iced tea is strong, and dessert is served with a side of nostalgia.
Say hello to Atlantic Beach Pie — a Southern gem that’s equal parts comfort and elegance, with a name that whispers of ocean waves and lazy summer days.
It’s not a lemon pie.
It’s not a coconut cream pie.
It’s something entirely its own — a luscious, custard-like masterpiece baked in a flaky crust, studded with coconut and pecans, and kissed with a pinch of sea salt.
And once you try it?
You’ll understand why it’s a coastal classic.
