The real deal. Fresh from the days catch. We had 21-25 shrimp per pound. Bought 2 pounds for 4 of us. The best shrimp ever. The smell of the ocean still on them. Used with yellow grits back at home. How can you go wrong. The crusty old guy out front taking orders and money, I swear was a pirate.

Did some research and reserved a spot to do the Top Tour. Well worth it, the light house is all volunteer run and they all seem to enjoy the lighthouse and all of the history. Will definitely be on our to do list in the future.

One of my familys favorite beach trips. Just a quiet, laid back family atmosphere. If you like to get away for the hustle and enjoy a peaceful family trip, Oak Island is highly recommended. So glad we gave it a try.

5. The Point

Great shelling and maritime views from this westernmost tip of Oak Island, where Lockwood Folly River on one side of the Point empties into the south-facing Atlantic on the other. Small public parking lot with access to short paths across the dunes lead to your choice of oceanfront or soundside adventure. Watch your the time, so you don’t get caught on the flats when the tide turns. We visited the Pointe in winter and didn’t swim: however, we learned currents here are strong as the two bodies of water intersect. Locals also tell us sunsets along the Point are breathtaking.
