Ice cream, mini-golf, and 10 miles of windswept, uncrowded beaches make an Oak Island vacation the fun experience you’ve been dreaming of. The ocean takes center stage here, where you can head out for a swim in the warm waters that come from the island’s location in the northernmost subtropical region of the East Coast, toss around a beach ball on flat sands or simply soak in the sun. Even the town’s age-old majestic oaks bend from years of being caressed by ocean breezes. If you venture off the shore, enjoy strolling through a butterfly and hummingbird garden, testing your game on the golf courses and exploring an environmental sea trail by kayak or canoe. A low-key, high-fun vacation at the beach, your visit to Oak Island will be an experience you’ll cherish for years.
