Sunset
Beach

Each time you cross over the bridge to Sunset Beach, you will be
reminded to slow down and relax as you enter into a more laid-back
atmosphere. Visitors often comment on the quality of the sand on Sunset
Beach, which is a beautiful powdery-white. The island has a home-like feel
and quiet surroundings, but there is still plenty to see and do. After the
beach, plan a visit to Ingram Planetarium or an afternoon at one of the many
local golf courses. Plan to take a walk on the beach at sunset and learn
for yourself why it is called “Sunset Beach.” Due in part to the beach’s
southern exposure, you will see some of the most beautiful and breath-taking
sunrises and sunsets in the world. Sunset Beach is a unique and attractive
place to host a wedding, family reunion or meeting. Sea Trail Golf Resort
& Conference Center is a full-service meeting facility with 70,000 square
feet of meeting space. Sea Trail can serve a seated banquet of 720 to
1,100 people in a theater environment. One of Sunset Beach’s beautiful gems is
Bird Island, an undeveloped and secluded island that can only be accessed by
land by way of Sunset Beach.

Holden Beach

Rated one of the best family beaches in the country by National
Geographic Traveler magazine, Holden Beach was also listed in the 2004 AAA Beach
Vacation Travel Journal as one of the top 30 beaches in the country. As
reported by USA Today in 2005, Holden Beach was named as one of the top ten
family beaches by Professor Stephen Leatherman (aka Dr. Beach). The Town
of Holden Beach has officially received National Healthy Beach status through
the National Healthy Beaches Campaign. Mostly residential, the island is
home to some of the most spectacular homes in the area. With 900 permanent
residents, there is something happening in this town all year-round. You
may want to plan your trip around one of Holden Beach’s signature festivals - A
Day at the Docks in April or Festival by the Sea in October. The festivals
highlight the island-town’s rich history in boat building and shrimping.
Oak Island

The largest beach community in North Carolina with a population of
7,300, the Town of Oak Island was the result of a 1999 merger of two smaller
towns on the island, Yaupon Beach and Long Beach. Oak Island features a
larger commercial district than any other Brunswick County island. With
more than 50 public beach accesses, Oak Island also offers several boat ramps,
recreational areas and a skate park. The beaches of Oak Island are a focal
point for the protection of sea turtle nesting and habitats, and the town has an
active Sea Turtle Protection Program. The town’s Recreation Department
also has an Ocean Education Center with a turtle display.
Caswell
Beach
On the eastern-most end of Oak Island is Caswell Beach, a quiet town
of about 466 year-round residents. The town takes its name from Fort Caswell
built in 1826 and seized by Confederate troops in 1861. Caswell Beach has
a centralized commercial district and is home to the Oak Island
lighthouse. The lighthouse boasts the brightest light in the United States
and the second brightest light in the world. The light can be seen as far
as 24 nautical miles offshore. Currently, visitors cannot tour the inside
of the lighthouse, but you can get great views and pictures from the
roadside.
