The
Town of Oak Island 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, and
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 its 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.
