Oak Island is fast becoming one of the most popular beach destinations in North and South Carolina. With its close proximity to international airports in both Wilmington and Myrtle Beach, access by car or plane makes Oak Island a great destination for families.
Known for its Lighthouse on Caswell Beach, Oak Island has incredible views spanning the Intracoastal Waterway, Bald Head Island and the Atlantic Ocean.
Heading down Ocean Drive is Yaupon Beach (pronounced yoh’-pahn). It’s a nice family location that offers beach access, restaurants, a fishing pier and several hotels. Continuing down the beach, you’ll come across Long Beach which extends to the West end of the island.
Oak Island is a great place for fishing, walking on the beach, or just relaxing with your family. There are enough restaurants and shops to be convenient yet not overcrowded by t-shirt shops, all you can eat buffets and traffic jams.
