Getting around
Oak Island is a flat, bike-friendly barrier island that many guests enjoy exploring on foot or by bicycle. Beach access and May Moore Park are within easy walking distance, and many nearby restaurants and attractions can be reached with a short bike ride or drive.
Rideshare services such as Uber may be available on the island, though pickup times can be longer than in larger cities and availability may vary seasonally.
There is no public transit system serving Oak Island, so a personal vehicle is recommended for grocery runs, day trips, or exploring surrounding coastal towns such as Southport and Wilmington.
Covered carport parking for one vehicle plus additional driveway parking makes arrivals simple.
