Oak Island NC Walkabout

Today I’m visiting the town of Oak Island, NC in Brunswick County. Lets take a quick ride around or tour of the community and talk about a little history. Oak Island used to be three separate towns. It used to be Caswell Beach, Yaupon Beach and Long Beach. Come with me as I show you around.

    Great tour of Oak Island. We have never been there but have friends and family that have. The beaches looked beautiful. Poor lady is headless! Thanks for taking us along with you for the tour of Oak Island.

    Oak Island is a nice little town. I like it because they don't have a lot of commercialized hotels and stores there. Also it is a great place to go fishing in the spring and fall. Thanks for watching friends.

    Is there any sort of walkable village or downtown area? We usually go to Pine Knoll Shores, Beaufort or Emerald Isle, but would love to see more of Oak Island before deciding to vacation there. Very cool beach area and your video of it.

    Oak Island does not have a village area. The small beach community has some beach wear shops and nicely themed putt putt coarse within a few blocks of each other. The town of Southport is a short 10-15 minute drive away depending on traffic. They have a village area there to shop and eat. Here is my video about Southport. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dpd50KN7Y5CfqtI.html

    That’s a really nice light house. Would love to photograph it. That beach is really nice. I appreciate the beach lifestyle. The seas are in our blood! That salty air and wind in your hair. Love me some Brunswick stew at a bbq place! Food looked pretty tasty. That looks a lot like folly beach.

    I have always had a love for lighthouses at the coast. We are planning on going over to a neighboring island later this summer to film the oldest standing lighthouse in North Carolina. It will be the first time we get to try out our new Hiboy electric stand up scooters. It should make travel on the island easier. It is one of those no cars allowed islands.😁 Thank you for watching my friend.

    I am glad you enjoyed it. The BBQ House is always good. If you like a good burger try Little Bits. I hate she was not open when I was there. And Bob's Dogs has the best hotdogs on the island in my opinion. Thank you for watching. Have a blessed day! 😀

    Yes it was - We went their every year from age 4 till I was - well still go - It was called Long Beach on Oak Island - I still call it that - but it has grown up the area way to much - I remember when only houses were beach front and a few across the street - and we would go across on the old bridge and go to the Red and White grocery store and visit the bakery - just a very small little shopping center they also had a laundry mat -

    Hey Christa! I hate it for the town of Oak Island. It looks like they sustained a lot of beach erosion. That has to be heart breaking to the community. They spent 29 million dollars two years ago on a beach renourishment project. Now most of that sand is gone.
