History of Ocean Isle Beach

History, Size, and Community of Ocean Isle Beach Originally known as Hale Beach, the area transformed after World War II when developer Odell Williamson began building the resort community in the late 1940s–1950s, digging finger canals for boating access. Tragedy struck in 1954 when Hurricane Hazel (a Category 4) made direct landfall, destroying nearly all structures—but the town rebuilt stronger, earning resilience awards like the 2008 Best Restored Beach. Incorporated in 1959, Ocean Isle stretches ~8 miles with a year-round population of ~800–1,000 (median age ~68, ideal for retirement).Famous Landmark: The Ocean Isle Beach Fishing Pier – perfect for fishing and sunsets.

Community:

  • Year-round residents: ~1,000
  • Location: ~45 min to Wilmington NC, ~40 min to Myrtle Beach SC
  • Proximity: Major airports (ILM/MYR), healthcare, shopping

Life in Ocean Isle Beach: Island vs. Mainland Living:

Living in Ocean Isle Beach means embracing a relaxed coastal lifestyle tailored to retirement dreams. On the island, you’ll find iconic canal homes with private docks perfect for boating directly to the Intracoastal Waterway, oceanfront condos with stunning views, and easy walks to the soft, south-facing sands that make this beach so special. The mainland side offers more affordable riverfront properties along the Shallotte River, newer communities with convenient shopping access, and close proximity to world-class golf like Ocean Ridge Plantation’s renowned “Big Cats” courses (Lion’s Paw, Panther’s Run, Tiger’s Eye, and Leopard’s Chase).

Both the island and mainland share the town’s best perks: pristine, uncrowded beaches with public access points everywhere, excellent fishing and kayaking, fresh Calabash-style seafood dining nearby, seasonal events, and a peaceful, friendly community vibe—no overwhelming crowds or high-rise chaos here. It’s the ideal spot for active adults who want boating, golf, sunsets, and low-key days in a true hidden gem.

Taxes (Very Retiree-Friendly): Brunswick County rate: 34.20 cents per $100 valuation. Island properties add the town rate of 13 cents per $100 (combined ~47.20 cents)—still significantly lower than most northern states, making it easier to stretch your retirement budget.
