About Oak Island, North Carolina

Located in southeastern North Carolina on the Atlantic Ocean, lies the town of Oak Island. It has the distinction as being one of the most populated incorporated towns in Brunswick County with a small town atmosphere. Many homes in Oak Island are located along the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, the Davis Canal, and cottages are nestled in maritime wooded lots.

Oak Island offers roughly a ten mile stretch of southern facing ocean beach with quiet surf and moderate tides. This family-oriented beach community has water related activities for all ages. Three piers, a marina, and public facilities make all types of fishing possible. Stunning oak and yaupon trees grace this beach community which offers both a great place to live and vacation.
