Ocean Isle Beach

Almost straddling the North Carolina, South Carolina state line, Ocean Isle Beach is one of North Carolina’s southernmost barrier islands, and a favorite of retirees looking for that idyllic beach town lifestyle.

Just over seven miles long, this island spent much of its history belonging to a conglomeration of people, none of who really had a direction for the island in mind. Until the 1950s, the island was little more than a family getaway for those who owned the sprawling expanses of ocean front property. In 1953 the island was purchased in its entirety by Odell Williamson, and incorporated into the town of Ocean Isle Beach in 1959.

Besides the beaches, what most distinguishes Ocean Isle Beach from other barrier island communities is the system of canals that run throughout the island, connecting almost every home to the Intracoastal Waterway. This feature makes the island an ideal home for boat owners, as most homes are equipped with a dock.
