Nearly fifty miles of pristine shoreline along five barrier islands make up the Brunswick Islands of southern Brunswick County. Conveniently located within a short drive or ferry ride to Wilmington or Myrtle Beach, the Brunswick Islands are becoming a popular spot for retirees, families looking for a second home, or the investor wanting to take advantage of a hot real estate market.

Here is a quick rundown of what you will find in the Brunswick Islands:

• Founded in 1792, Southport is a quaint and charming maritime village ranked as one of the nation?s best places to retire and an ?All-American City Top 30? choice. In Southport, you feel as though you have stepped back 100 years in time as stately homes, historic churches and the charm of the downtown area create an ambience of a fishing village from years gone by.
• Named for sprawling, centuries old live oak trees that dot the landscape, Oak Island is the largest of the barrier islands and is home to two beaches, Oak Island and Caswell. Stretching sixteen miles from tip to tip, Oak Island is a beachcomber?s paradise.
• Holden Beach is a quiet beach with comfortable homes ? some big, some small. Commerical facilities are limited to the basic needs such as two grocery stores, three restaurants, a beach rental facility and a pier and campground. Many year round residents find this appealing as there are no winter-time abandoned boardwalks or stretches of seasonal beach stores.
• Ocean Isle Beach offers eight miles shoreline to the beachcomber. Fisherman will find more than 22 species of fish in the surf and even more fertile waters in the Intracoastal Waterway. Golfers enjoy a year-round season with more than thirty championship courses in Brunswick County. Minutes from Ocean Isle, you will find an unexpected surprise of a winery that produces one of Coastal Carolina?s finest wines.
• Sunset Beach is the smallest and the farthest south of the Brunswick islands. It is made up primarily of beach cottages and located just across an inlet from Myrtle Beach. Calabash and its? world-renowned seafood restaurants are just inland from Sunset Beach.
• If seclusion is more of what you have in mind, Bald Head Island is accessible only by ferry and offers miles of beautiful wide beaches. Cars are not allowed on Bald Island, so bicycles and golf carts are the mode of transportation. On a stroll through the maritime forest, you will happen upon ?Old Baldy,? Bald Head?s lighthouse that dates back to 1817.
