Picturesque Southern towns like Southport, Calabash, Shallotte and Leland draw visitors with family-owned, one-of-a-kind restaurants, galleries and shops, and even movie locations. Adding a temperate climate ideal for year-round outdoor activities, dining, and festivals along with museums, historic forts and lighthouses, the stage is set for a perfect coastal getaway. Toss in boating, kayaking, fishing and golfing and there’s always plenty to do – or you may choose to do nothing at all but enjoy the quiet, the beaches and nature.

The wide, uncrowded beaches of North Carolina’s Brunswick Islands are a haven far away from high-rise hotels and overdevelopment. Private vacation rental homes give your family all the space you need. Or choose from a quiet B&B or cozy inn. Here there are beaches for families, reunions, small children, surfers, nature adventures, girlfriends and golf getaways. You can still find deer roaming the dunes, and the old-time fishing piers and public access points so rare these days. And a special treat, our south-facing beaches provide both spectacular sunrises and sunsets over the ocean several months of the year.
