Holden Beach, Coastal town in Brunswick County, North Carolina, United States.
Holden Beach extends across an 8-mile barrier island between Shallotte Inlet and Lockwoods Folly Inlet along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline.
Benjamin Holden obtained four mainland tracts in 1756, utilizing the island primarily for fishing operations and grazing cattle before permanent settlement began.
The interdenominational Holden Beach Chapel emerged from a 1940s Bible study group, representing the spiritual foundation of the early island community.
North Carolina Highway 130 provides direct access to the mainland, with essential services and amenities located within a short driving distance.
Sea turtle nesting occurs between May and October, when hatchlings emerge from the sand and make their way toward the Atlantic waters.
