Vacationers and prospective homebuyers looking for a family-friendly destination on the East Coast are continually drawn to Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. This remarkable, small barrier island offers virtually every amenity a beach lover might desire along with acclaimed restaurants, great fishing, beautiful area golf courses, fantastic beaches, and many additional local attractions. Adding to its appeal, Ocean Isle Beach has an easy to reach location just south of Shallotte and over a short bridge crossing the Intracoastal Waterway.
The landscape on the island is quite different from that on the mainland. The island boasts stunning white sand beaches, an abundance of palm trees, hip seafood shacks and ice cream shops, and colorful vacation rentals. This beach oasis wasn’t always such a popular tourist destination. In fact, Ocean Isle Beach was created in the 1930s and 1940s on the southeastern edge of North Carolina when the Intracoastal Waterway was cut through separating the mainland from the oceanfront beaches. The town was incorporated in 1959 and has welcomed many new beachside attractions, restaurants, and motels since. Today, as soon as you cross the Ocean Isle Beach Causeway you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to an island paradise, though it takes roughly five minutes to reach the actual oceanfront.
