Ocean Isle Beach North Carolina is a barrier island located along North Carolina’s southern coast in the northernmost subtropical region of the East Coast of The United States. Although it is technically in NC, the town itself is actually located to the south of every major city in South Carolina with the exception of Charleston!

The mild, sub tropic temperature and climate allows for year round entertainment and vacationing. Although Ocean Isle Beach, with such close proximity to the historic port of Wilmington, N.C. and the numerous tourist attractions of Myrtle Beach S.C., has grown and developed over the years, it has maintained its relaxed and leisurely charm. In contrast to other resort areas along the southeastern coast, The Winds Resort Beach Club and surrounding Ocean Isle resorts have chosen to avoid the everyday hustle and bustle. Instead, this dramatic island and resort community have sustained a family beach atmosphere and has proudly kept itself on a low-key, low-rise course. It’s the perfect place for vacationers who want to relax and enjoy a quiet, refreshing time in North Carolina.
