Long beach
8 Michael S.

It's a wonderful spot for fishing or simply strolling along. You can relax on a bench and enjoy the view of the shore. It's truly peaceful.

Holden beach II
10 Landon Gray

This beach is perfect for families and offers a much more peaceful atmosphere compared to the crowded tourist beaches nearby. It's an excellent spot for collecting seashells, swimming, and simply enjoying the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean.

Caswell beach
8 Tamara Williams

The water was pleasantly warm and invigorating. With turtles nesting and making their way to the ocean, there's a chance to catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures. Once we located the parking lot area, parking was convenient. The area offers amenities such as portable toilets, a shower, and a ramp for easy access to the beach. Upon entering the water, be cautious of shells, sticks, and rocks that may not be foot-friendly. However, once you navigate past these obstacles, it's smooth sailing. Personally, I found there to be an excessive amount of ocean debris at the bottom of the water and on the sand, which didn't quite suit my preferences.

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. 💙🌊🐬🐚🦀🌴
