Oak Island’s ten-mile stretch of southern facing ocean beach offers quiet surf and moderate tides. By car, Oak Island is just 27 miles south of Wilmington, NC and 60 miles north of Myrtle Beach, SC. With two piers, a marina, and public launch facilities making all types of fishing possible, this family-oriented beach community offers a wide-array of activities for all ages. Enjoy the ocean breezes while golfing at an eighteen-hole course within walking distance of the beach.

Oak Island has over 52 public beach accesses (most with parking), two public boat ramps, several areas to put in canoes and kayaks, an extensive sidewalk system for bikes and pedestrians to enjoy, recreation trails, numerous parks and playgrounds, a full service parks and recreation department, and youth friendly facilities such as the newly completed skate board park.
This charming town was formed in 1999, when the towns of Long Beach and Yaupon Beach consolidated. Located across the Intracoastal Waterway from Southport and St. James, about 4 miles southwest of Bald Head Island, Oak Island is divided into 3 sections: Oak Island Beach, Oak Island Wooded, and Oak Island Mainland. With so much natural beauty, historical significance and unique character, Oak Island is a great place to visit, live, work, and play!
