Go Wildlife Watching

During this time of year, Ocean Isle Beach experiences a flood of vibrant plants and the emergence of turtle nests and both native and migratory birds. Visit Sunset Beach nearby and see some of the most beautiful bird species and natural locales on the North Carolina Birding Trail, including the Bird Island Reserve.
