This small seaside town between Myrtle Beach and Wilmington along the Atlantic Ocean, really packs a punch. As a random fact, Ocean Isle Beach is known as the Gem of the Brunswick Islands, and it’s true, as this jewel offers so much for your entire family to enjoy. Besides seemingly endless water activities and their famous North Carolina Oyster Festival, it’s no wonder Ocean Isle Beach vacation rentals tend to book up early. You can go stargazing, shopping, and visit museums, or simply enjoy that beautiful 7-mile white sand beach. You can even take a haunted tour, if you dare.
What it may lack in size, Ocean Isle Beach makes up for with tons of things to see. Besides it’s gorgeous, award-winning 7-mile stretch of sandy white beach, you can hang (and fish) with the locals along Ocean Isle Beach Pier. Check out the dioramas and the touch tank at the Museum of Coastal Carolina, or let your little ones burn off some energy at Ocean Isle Beach Park. Visit a winery, or take a ghost walk around the area’s haunted past, but only if you're brave. The state's oldest lighthouse on Bald Head Island is 41 miles east.
Ocean Isle Beach vacation rentals are popular in this small town of nearly 600 residents, as you’re only 41 miles from Myrtle Beach, SC, and 44 miles from Wilmington, NC. It’s a great location from which to explore the entire coastal area. You can follow along the marshland trail at Shallotte River Swamp Park, or experience the amazing feats of Loggerhead turtles during their annual nesting season from May until September. And for a great vacation memory, you can even Adopt a Nest through the Ocean Isle Beach Sea Turtle Protection Organization. How cool is that?
