4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Nice beach, not crowded, was able to ger a good spot each day we went. Businesses are limited, if you are like our family and have picky eaters only wanting to eat at national food chain restaurants, there are a few, but not as many as a larger town.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Wonderful, quiet beach that’s perfect for a family getaway.

4/5 - Good

I love Oak Island and have been going here since I was a child in the early 1960's. It is quiet and beautiful and not much ocean front development.
