                               December 11, 1996

Board of Directors
Coastal Financial Corporation
2619 N. Oak Street
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina  29577

Gentlemen:
      
      We have acted as special counsel to Coastal Financial Corporation, an
Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), in connection with the preparation
and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of a Registration Statement on Form S-8
(the "Registration Statement"), relating to the registration of up to 164,063
additional shares of  Corporation common stock, $.01 par value per share
("Common Stock"), to be issued pursuant to the Corporation's 1990 Stock Option
Plan and Incentive Plan (the "Option Plan") upon the exercise of stock options
("Option Rights").  The Registration Statement also registers an indeterminate
number of additional shares which may be necessary under the Option Plan to
adjust the number of shares reserved for issuance as a result of a stock
split, stock dividend or similar adjustment of the outstanding Common Stock of
the Corporation.  We have been requested by the Corporation to furnish an
opinion to be included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

      We have reviewed the Registration Statement, the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Corporation, the Plan, a specimen stock
certificate evidencing the Common Stock of the Corporation and such other
corporate records and documents as we have deemed appropriate for the purpose
of rendering this opinion.  We are relying upon the originals, or copies
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the corporate
records of the Corporation and such other instruments, certificates and
representations of public officials, officers and representatives of the
Corporation as we have deemed appropriate or relevant as a basis for the
opinion set forth below.  In addition, we have assumed, without independent
verification, the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all
documents furnished to us and the conformity in all respects of copies to
originals.

<PAGE>
      For purposes of this opinion, we have also assumed that (i) the shares
of Common Stock issuable pursuant to Option Rights granted under the terms of
the Plan will continue to be validly authorized on the dates the Common Stock
is issued pursuant to the Option Rights; (ii) on the dates the Option Rights
are exercised, the Option Rights granted under the terms of the Option Plan
will constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of the Corporation and
will (subject to applicable bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency, reorganization
and other laws and legal principles affecting the enforceability of creditors'
rights generally) be enforceable as to the Corporation in accordance with
their terms; (iii) no change occurs in applicable law or the pertinent facts;
and (iv) the provisions of "blue sky" and other securities laws as may be
applicable have been complied with to the extent required.

      Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and
assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion as of the date hereof that
the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Option Plan, when
issued pursuant to and in accordance with the Registration Statement, the
Option Plan and, with respect to the Option Plan, upon receipt of the
consideration required thereby, will be legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation.

      We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                              Sincerely,

                              /s/ Breyer & Aguggia

The Board of Directors
Coastal Financial Corporation
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We consent to incorporation by reference in the registration statement on Form
S-8, dated December 11, 1996, to register shares of common stock which will be
issued pursuant to the Coastal Financial Corporation's 1990 Stock Option and
Incentive Plan as amended, of our report dated October 20, 1995 relating to
the consolidated statements of financial condition of Coastal Financial
Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended September 30, 1995, which report appears
in the September 30, 1995, annual report on Form 10-K of Coastal Financial
Corporation and subsidiaries.  Our report dated October 20, 1995, refers to
the fact that the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" at
October 1, 1994 and the provision of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
