OAK ISLAND
The Coastal Lifestyle is as easy and relaxing as a stroll in the sand. Oak Island—nestled comfortably between Southport and the mighty Atlantic Ocean—is a quaint beach community that offers peace and quiet, a sanctuary of relaxation. Discover the natural wonders of the coast that have remained unchanged for centuries. Refresh your spirit with the pristine surroundings, exquisite luxury and comfortable convenience of coastal North Carolina.
The annual average high temperature is 73 degrees and the average low is 51 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing for pleasant outdoor activities year-round. With over 52 public beach accesses (most with parking), two public boat ramps, multiple areas to launch canoes and kayaks, 35 well maintained golf courses, a wide-ranging sidewalk system for bikes and pedestrians to enjoy, recreation trails, several parks and playgrounds, a full service parks and recreation department, and youth friendly facilities including the newly completed skate board park, Oak Island provides a utopia of outdoor fun.
From the blissful beaches to the quaint, picturesque fishing villages, Oak Island, North Carolina, has always been one of the most beautiful—yet undiscovered—locations on the East Coast.
SOUTHPORT
A quaint fishing village on the mouth of the Cape Fear River, Southport is a place you come to visit and end up never wanting to leave. Beautiful Victorian-style homes grace the sidewalk-lined streets under huge sweeping oak trees, hundreds of years old. Cool ocean breezes keep temperatures mild year round. And Southport’s midway point between Wilmington and Myrtle Beach make it close to all of the action, yet with an ambiance that feels worlds away.
Self-guided walking tours provide a wealth of discovery. Stroll down Moore Street and visit the many colorful gift shops, art galleries and antique dealerships. Stop and rest at Waterfront Park where you may see huge cargo ships making their way up the Cape Fear River to the port city of Wilmington. Enjoy fresh seafood overlooking the Southport Yacht Basin and Marina where sailing vessels stop on their way along the Inter-coastal waterway.
