And the lucky parents who join them. 32 WOULDN’T YOU LIKE TO BE A KID AGAIN? LEARN MORE AT WWW.NCBRUNSWICK.COM/THINGS-TO-DO/THINGS-TO-DO-WITH-KIDS 800.795.7263 | NCBRUNSWICK.COM 33 You’ve found an entire island kingdom where kids rule the day. Here, kids can be kids and parents can too. With 45 miles of shoreline to explore, there will always be another sandcastle to create or ebbing wave to boogie board. The firm sand is perfect for bike rides, bocce ball, kite flying, cornhole, and tidal pool exploration. There are shells to be collected, scuttling crabs to be chased, and dolphins to be sighted. At night the beach becomes a starry wonderland where the ocean’s roar feels louder, and the mysteries of a sea turtle’s return is something to reverently behold. This vacation is a perfect time to discover new skills and enjoy new experiences. Sign up for surf lessons, golf lessons, a family kayak excursion, a charter fishing trip, or a dolphin cruise. There’s no better way to discover nature than to meet it face-to-face in the many nature preserves, in a planetarium, or zip lining through The Swamp Park. Of course, kids who rule a kingdom should view their realm from atop a lighthouse where they can shout, “I hereby declare this island in the name of...me!” We are at their service.

Ocean Isle Beach Ocean Isle Beach is a family favorite with its beautiful palm-lined streets. There’s no telling how many of its fans caught their very first glimpse of the ocean here as toddlers—then return year after year until it’s their turn to share the experience with their children and grandchildren. The island has a wide variety of accommodations— from oceanfront hotels to condos to vacation home rentals. The island’s marsh-side vacation rental homes with docks on deep canals are ideal for families, where you can tie up your boat, launch your paddleboard or kayak, or cast a line or crab net. Ocean Isle has been named “The South’s Best Tiny Town” by Southern Living . Tiny perhaps, but this beach village is packed with big fun. The lively town offers something for everyone with a wide array of restaurants, many with waterfront views. Challenge the family to a mini-golf tournament, try your luck at the arcade, or take a zip-line tour above the wonders of the ecosystem at The Swamp Park. Adults can also enjoy the adventure of finding a new favorite refreshment at the local brewery or winery. Whether it’s your first glimpse of the ocean or one of thousands in your life, the pleasures of Ocean Isle Beach never grow old. 800.795.7263 | NCBRUNSWICK.COM 39 My happy place. Ocean Isle Beach is peaceful, tranquil, and serene. I have so many memories here. -Kellie, 10 visits to NC’s Brunswick Islands “Next >
