Review & FAQ:

Oak Island is a family-friendly beach destination in the Brunswick Islands. The laid-back barrier island provides the perfect mix of an easy-going, peaceful time at the beach and amenities such as marinas, mini golf, and bike rentals. Access the beach at more than 60 public access points or take a chance at reeling in a big one at one of the area’s fishing piers. Guests can get out on the water at Oak Island’s two marinas and three public boat and canoe ramps. The 10-mile stretch of sand is perfect for unwinding and enjoying everything one expects from a North Carolina beach.
