About Coastal NC Living

North Carolina's Brunswick Islands are a group of barrier islands separated from the mainland by the Intra-Coastal Waterway. Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Holden Beach, Oak Island, Caswell Beach and Bald Head Island all lie in the northernmost sub-tropical region on the East Coast.

This is the closest place vacationers from the North can easily drive to for the experience of an island getaway surrounded by palm trees, banana trees and other exotic topical plants.

Put this climate together with wide, sandy island beaches and you have a little taste of paradise a little closer to home!

With gentle breezes, white sugar sand beaches and blue-green waters lapping at the shores, each island has its own distinct personality.

With all these great beaches, historic places, shopping, dining and over three dozen of Coastal Carolina's best golf courses the towns of North Carolina's Brunswick Islands make up one of the best places in the world to visit and live.

Located along the southern coast of North Carolina midway between Wilmington, N.C. and Myrtle Beach, S.C., the Brunswick Islands are located to the south of every major city in S.C. except for Myrtle Beach and Charleston!
