Calabash, Coastal town in Brunswick County, North Carolina, USA
The town extends along the tidal Calabash River, connecting to Little River in South Carolina with multiple waterfront dining establishments and fishing docks.
The settlement, named after local gourds used for drinking well water, received its municipal incorporation in 1973 following decades of fishing industry growth.
Local restaurants developed a specific cooking method for seafood preparation, establishing Calabash-style fried fish as a regional culinary signature.
The Town Hall at 882 Persimmon Road manages administrative services for over 2,000 residents and maintains communication through the municipal website.
The fishing fleet based in Calabash harbor provides fresh catches to 32 specialized seafood restaurants serving the local population and visitors.
