Ocean Isle Beach is one of North Carolina’s southernmost barrier islands. Miles and miles of powder white sand, sun-danced waves, and windswept marshlands make Ocean Isle Beach one of the loveliest places on earth.

This approximately seven-mile long coastal barrier island was purchased in its entirety in 1953 by Odell Williamson and then incorporated as the Town of Ocean Isle Beach in 1959. Since its incorporation, Ocean Isle Beach has made a concentrated effort to avoid the everyday hustle and bustle normally found in a resort community. This unique village has retained a family beach atmosphere and is the perfect place for vacationers and retires seeking to relax and enjoy life. Ocean Isle Beach is a quiet alternative to the wall-to-wall condos found on so many other coastal towns.

Ocean Isle Beach has one of the best actual beaches on

the North Carolina coast. Warm ocean waters combined with a wide gently sloping shoreline and public access every 500 ft. makes Ocean Isle Beach perfect for everyone from children to senior citizens.

Ocean Isle Beach is located between the historic port of Wilmington NC and the tourist attractions of Myrtle Beach SC. Featuring a canal system with direct access to the Intercoastal Waterway, Ocean Isle Beach is the ideal location for recreational boats and serious fisherman alike.

While Ocean Isle Beach itself is relatively quiet, there are at least a dozen golf courses and numerous restaurants and shops within a 10 miles radius.

Ocean Isle Beach is often referred to a “the best kept secret in the Carolinas” and after only one visit most vacationers want to keep it that way – pristine, secluded and peaceful.
