Bald
Head Island
At
the center of Bald Head Island stands "Old Baldy" high
over the ancient live oak trees. Bald Head Island offers many activities
such as Golf on its 18 hole championship course, some of the best
fishing on the east coast, a full service marina, miles of kayaking
through its 10,000 acre nature reserve and 14 miles of sandy white
Beaches. Nature is admired and respected on Bald Head Island. Alligators,
Sea Turtles and other rare animals live on this lush island paradise.
Bird watching is a favorite pastime among many of the local residents.
Oak
Island and Caswell Beach
A
community defined by its dedication to family-friendly activities,
Oak Island is a great place to live or visit. With over ten miles
of southern facing beaches, the island offers more than 50 public
beach accesses, several public boat ramps, picnic areas, extensive
sidewalks, nature centers, parks and walking trails. Activities
include golf, fishing, boating, crabbing, claming, shelling, walking
on nature trails or just plain relaxing on the beach. Visitors and
residents appreciate the many colorful shops and dining options
also found here. Situated midway between Wilmington and Myrtle Beach
Oak Island is close to a host of cultural and entertainment activities,
while maintaining the hospitality and warmth of a small town.
Southport
Southport
is one of few City’s with a true downtown. Banks, antique
& collectible shops, restaurants, and professional offices line
about a five block area in the downtown commercial district. Just
outside this district is one of the finest medical care facilities
in our region, J.A. Dosher Memorial Hospital. A visit to our area
is not complete without a day or two of walking through these antique
and specialty shops, stopping along the way for a leisurely lunch
at an outside pub or restaurant along the waterfront or yacht basin,
taking a pedicab historic tour of the City, watching transoceanic
vessels pass by at Waterfront Park and visiting the NC Maritime
Museum in Southport.
St. James Plantation
Located
just five miles from the quaint fishing village of Southport, St.
James Plantation is a perfect midway point, between Myrtle Beach
and Wilmington, just outside the commercial district of Long Beach
Road. The community offers everything from stately custom homes
to low-maintenance condominiums with beautiful views of the Inter-coastal
or tidal creeks and salt marshes teeming with all manner of wildlife.
A special dedication to living in harmony with nature defines the
community.
Residents of St. James can choose from dozens of
social clubs including golf, tennis, bridge, choir, community service,
antique lovers, water exercise and more. It’s a place where
neighbors connect and lifelong friendships are formed. A year round
mild climate creates endless opportunities for golf, water sports
and outdoor activities of every kind.
