Ocean Isle Beach, Coastal town in Brunswick County, North Carolina, United States.

Ocean Isle Beach extends across a barrier island spanning 5 miles between Tubbs Inlet and Shallotte Inlet along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.

The town received formal incorporation in 1959 and underwent significant restoration projects in 2001 following the damages from Hurricane Hugo in 1989.

The Museum of Coastal Carolina presents exhibits about regional maritime life, Civil War artifacts, and Native American history through educational programs.

The beach features multiple public access points, seasonal rental properties, and facilities for water activities such as fishing, kayaking, and swimming.

The town received the 2008 Best Restored Beach Award from the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association for its restoration efforts.
