Holden beach

I was looking to purchase a beach house some where in North Carolina so I could be close to my home base of Charlotte, NC and not feel like when I returned, I would need a vacation from my vacation.. I checked out all the beaches from Sunset to the outer banks and this is what my wife and I surmised: We immediately crossed OBX off our list because it was very far and because of the lack of medical care nearby…you have to think of these things once you have children. Sunset was ok, but not quite what I was looking for in a beach destination. Ocean Isle was very pretty, had lots of charm, but way overbuilt now for my liking. I am needing relaxation from the city enviornment, so I didn’t want to be stressed out at the beach too. We really enjoyed Holden Beach because it was not overbuilt, no high rise hotels or condos, very family oriented and very peaceful…almost like going back in time when things were slower and quieter. Oak island had beach erosion issues which I didn’t want to deal with every year. Wrightsville has become very expensive and very crowded even thought it is a beautiful island. Carolina Beach was a headache to reach and maybe too much of a party town for me. So, there you have it….we settled on Holden Beach and we are enjoying it immensely.

Freeman Park beach

Wow, what an incredible location! During our travels through North Carolina, my significant other and I made the decision to spend a night camping at this stunning spot, and we were absolutely blown away. The beach was simply breathtaking, and we were thrilled to discover that it was also a dog-friendly location. We were even able to enjoy a cozy campfire in the designated camping area. As if that wasn't enough, we were lucky enough to witness dolphins swimming nearby, which truly topped off our experience.

The Point beach
10 David Thompson

The oak Island point is an absolute gem of a beach, perfect for seashell hunting and getting away from the hustle and bustle of crowded beaches. It's a secluded spot that offers a serene atmosphere, and if you venture towards the sound, you'll be treated to a plethora of sea creatures like crabs, stingrays, and fish. The scenery is undeniably breathtaking, making it an ideal spot for meditation and relaxation. This place has truly captured my heart, and I can't wait to return to its tranquil shores. 💙🌊🐬🐚🦀🌴
