Fly a kite on the beach

Kids love kites, and for many of us we haven’t flown a kite in years. This summer take a moment to let that inner child out. Of course, if you have children with you, this is the perfect time to share a little kite fun with them. Go ahead and try it. Kite flying is as fun today as it was all those years ago.

Try a new dish

Let’s face it, when you are at the beach it is all about the seafood. This year, cross off that bucket list and have the shrimp and grits or the tuna steak. No matter what you want to try, our local commercial fishermen are sure to have the freshest catch for you to try.

There is something truly spectacular about watching a sunrise or sunset on the beach. However, have you ever gotten up early enough to see the sunrise. If not take a day and enjoy one of the most incredibly moving experiences as the world is bathed in its first light. Later take the time to sit on the beach with your loved one, or maybe just alone and watch the sunset. We promise you’ll be in love with the beach forever.

Get on the water in a new way

Have you sat on the shore watching others enjoy the water? Sure you go swimming and splash about in the waves with the kids, but have you yearned to see beyond the horizon or maybe wished you knew how to kayak? Ocean Isle Beach is the perfect place to surf, kayak, stand up paddle board, kite board, or even jet ski. This summer get out on the water in a new way.
