The South Brunswick Islands of Holden Beach, Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach have drawn summer vacationers for decades. Admired for the lack of high-rise condominiums, the beach cottages provide the perfect family atmosphere for summer visitors and easy living for residents. Situated between Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, this area offer wonderful shopping districts and dining choices. Proclaimed the “Seafood Capital of the World”, Calabash is a quiet waterfront town that comes alive during the summer months as its many restaurants live up to the moniker.

Several world-class golf communities are located in this area including Sea Trail Plantation, The Pearl Golf Links, Angels Trace, Sandpiper Bay, Brunswick Plantation, and Brick Landing. Higher education opportunities are available and many fine medical services and facilities. Bird Island, at the southern end of Sunset Beach, is a popular destination for shelling or reading the anonymous entries in the logbook at the “Kindred Spirit” mailbox located among the dunes.
