The Town of Oak Island is a family-oriented beach with ten miles of coastline on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. The beach is positioned to face south, which makes for a gentle surf, moderate tides and spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Oak Island extends to the public more than 60 public beach accesses, four fishing piers, two marinas, three public boat/canoe ramps, bike paths, numerous picnic areas, walking and canoe trails and extensive sidewalk system. If golf is your game then you'll have over 30 championship golf courses to choose from carved out of maritime forests, sculpted around freshwater lakes, and bordered by beautiful live oaks and towering long leaf pines in the Southport-Oak Island area. The historic waterfront town of Southport is at the mouth of the Cape Fear River just over the Oak Island Bridge. Enjoy shopping, historical homes, diverse restaurants, the North Carolina Maritime Museum, many relaxing parks and art galleries.
