Explore the Charm of NC’s Brunswick Islands
North Carolina’s Brunswick Islands offer some of the most inviting and uncrowded coastal towns and beaches along the Atlantic seaboard. From serene barrier islands with pristine south-facing shores to charming mainland villages known for world-famous seafood and historic waterfronts, this southern stretch of Brunswick County is a retiree’s paradise. With low property taxes (Brunswick County rate just 34.20 cents per $100 valuation in 2025), mild year-round weather, and easy access to both Wilmington and Myrtle Beach, these communities blend relaxed beach living with modern conveniences.
Each town has its own unique personality—whether you’re drawn to the quiet, family-friendly sands of Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle Beach, the lively yet laid-back vibe of Oak Island and Holden Beach, the famous Calabash-style seafood of Calabash, or the convenient mainland charm of Shallotte and Southport. No matter your style—canal waterfront homes with private docks, oceanfront condos, or affordable mainland retreats—you’ll find a welcoming community perfect for golf, boating, fishing, or simply enjoying spectacular sunsets.
