The Town of Holden Beach is located midway between Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC – about 40 minutes from each. The Town is situated on an Atlantic coastal barrier island, facing south onto the Long Bay region of Brunswick County. With over eight miles of clean, sandy beaches and a year round moderate temperature, the island attracts many visitors who want to experience a unique, quiet, family oriented atmosphere.
Holden Beach has little bit of everything for your family and loved ones to enjoy! From boating, fishing and hiking the island are very popular activities as well sea shell hunting. There are over a hundred superb golf courses located within an hour drive of the island. The island is a sea turtle habitat and during the hatching season and those who don’t mind staying up late can witness one of nature’s most interesting pleasures – watching hundreds of small sea turtles “boil” out of the sand and marching to the ocean. There is no other North Carolina barrier island like Holden Beach, low commercial impact, hundreds of beautiful rental homes and a wholesome family oriented atmosphere.
