The South Brunswick Islands, NC Holden Beach, NC, Ocean Isle Beach, NC and Sunset Beach, NC, known as the South Brunswick Islands, were not always islands in the sense that they are today. Before the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredged the Intracoastal Waterway in the 1930s, the only body of water separating their land mass from the mainland was the Elizabeth River. The beach waters here were mainly used by local residents for fishing excursions. Today, tourism is the main industry, however, more and more people are making the area their permanent home. The temperate climate, the natural beauty of the area with its south facing beaches, the spectacular sunrises and sunsets and the abundance of recreational opportunities draw these vacationers and permanent residents to the area. The South Brunswick Islands include three beach areas that are perfectly suited to family vacations. Golf is a favorite pastime in this area, with courses around every bend. The most popular vacation destinations in North Carolina, each island lures visitors for different reasons. No matter which location you choose, everything you need to live or vacation by the water is here. For a day away from the beach you can visit the nearby towns of Shallotte, NC or Calabash, NC or hop across the state line to Myrtle Beach, SC.
