Oak Island is a small beach town on the southern coast of North Carolina, about 40 minutes southwest of Wilmington. Spread across miles of shoreline, Oak Island features sandy beaches, fishing piers, boat ramps, and marinas, making it the ultimate location for watersports from fishing to boating. Along with relaxing on the beach, residents play mini-golf or ride their bikes to grab an ice cream on a summer day. When you move into your beach house or waterfront apartment, be sure to check out the Oak Island Nature Center to see some interesting displays on fossils and more. After a day of fun, try one of the local eateries serving up casual fare like hamburgers and fried seafood. Oak Island has been attracting tourists since the 19th century, but beaches here tend to be uncrowded, great for renters looking for a coastal oasis without constant excitement.
