Ocean
Isle Beach, NC
Ocean
Isle Beach is one of the southernmost of North
Carolina's unique barrier islands. Miles and
miles of powder white sand, sun-danced waves,
and windswept marshlands make our community
one of the loveliest places on the earth.
In
contrast to other resort areas along the southeastern
coast, Ocean Isle has chosen to avoid the everyday
hustle and bustle. Instead, this resort island
has sustained a family beach atmosphere and
has proudly kept itself on a low-key, low-rise
course. It's the perfect place for vacationers
who want to relax and enjoy a quiet, refreshing
time.
Ocean Isle Beach lies between the historic port
of Wilmington, N.C. and the tourist attractions
of Myrtle Beach, S.C. Although Ocean Isle Beach
has grown and developed over the years, it has
maintained its relaxed and leisurely charm.

Holden
Beach, NC
Nine
miles of pristine beaches welcome 800 full time
residents and thousands of tourist each year.
Holden Beach has a very small commercial area
on the island. That point is considered by many
to be a key reason to keep them coming back
year after year. While there are limited commercial
establishments on the island, everything one
could desire is located within a short driving
distance.

Bald
Head Island, NC
So
natural and unique that it’s only reachable
by ferry. This no-cars-allowed island can be
your family’s vacation hideaway, accentuated
by the oldest lighthouse in North Carolina.
Built in 1817 using the bricks of an older lighthouse
from 1795, Old Baldy and the adjoining museum
are wonderful places to tour.
As
you explore the island by bike, boat or golf
cart, you’ll be treated to a wide diversity
of natural landscapes, including pristine beaches,
maritime forests, sand dunes and salt marshes.
You might also enjoy spending a morning on the
links, or fishing for the catch of the day.
An island so set apart that 50 percent of North
Carolina’s sea-turtle nesting takes place
on its shores. Bald Head Island is a beautiful
place to retreat with your family.
