If you’ve never been to Oak Island, prepare to fall in love. This isn’t your typical beach town — here, you’ll find stunning shorelines and an authentic small-town feel without the high-rise developments found on other popular coastal destinations. It’s a place where time slows down, the salty breeze feels like a breath of fresh air, and Southern hospitality is more than just a saying.
But that’s only the beginning. Charming local shops, delicious coastal cuisine, and endless opportunities for both relaxation and adventure wait around every corner. Nature lovers can wander scenic birdwatching trails, stroll through peaceful maritime forests, or take in a breathtaking sunrise or sunset along the shore. If you’re craving adventure, cast a line off the Oak Island Pier, paddle through winding salt marshes, or set sail on a boat tour for a whole new perspective of the coast.
Families will love hunting for seashells along the shore, spotting dolphins from the pier, and climbing to the top of the Oak Island Lighthouse for panoramic views of the coastline. The fun continues with mini-golf, ice cream shops, and the Oak Island Splash Pad — fantastic for cooling off on a warm afternoon. If you’re visiting in summer, don’t miss the weekly concerts in the park, where little ones can dance under the stars while parents soak in the ocean breeze.
Oak Island also has plenty of local events to enjoy year-round! Kick off summer with Memorial Day weekend festivities, celebrate 4th of July week with lively beach events and fireworks over the water, or embrace the holiday spirit at Christmas by the Sea. Foodies won’t want to miss the seasonal farmers’ markets, while outdoor enthusiasts can take part in the annual US Open King Mackerel Tournament or one of Oak Island’s scenic marathons.
It’s no wonder Oak Island continues to earn top awards and accolades year after year! Whatever type of vacation you have in mind, this award-winning island offers something for everyone — and with Salt & Sand Realty, we’re here to help you make it a truly unforgettable experience.
