Welcome
to Oak Island and Southport, NC.
The
Town of Oak Island in North Carolina was formed in 1999 when the
towns of Long Beach and Yaupon Beach consolidated. This consolidation
gave it the distinction of the most populated incorporated town
in Brunswick County. Although the largest Town in the County, a
small town atmosphere is enjoyed by its residents. The foundation
of this beach community has always been public access:
- Consider
the over 52 public beach accesses (most with parking)
- two
public boat ramps
- Several
areas to put in canoes and kayaks
- An
extensive sidewalk system for bikes and pedestrians to enjoy
- Recreation
trails
- Numerous
parks and playgrounds
- A
full service parks and recreation department
- Youth
friendly facilities such as the newly completed skate board park
Programs
geared toward senior citizens are located at the Parks & Recreation
Department and the Oak Island Senior Citizens Center. The Town of
Oak Island has extended is boundaries to include the mainland areas
along Long Beach Road. This is the area where large grocery, department
stores, and fast food restaurants can be found.
