The Oceanana was opened in 1959 by A.B. Cooper, Sr. and was marketed as “The Family Playground of the South.” Until his death in 2001, Mr. Cooper played host to generations of families who returned to Atlantic Beach year after year for their vacations. The Cooper family still owns and operates the resort to this day.
Now, the Oceanana offers 3 main event venues for weddings and other special events: the grassy lawn, the private beach, and the pier. You can opt to reserve the entire pier for your wedding, the gazebo end of the pier, or underneath the pier.
