Things to Do
Although Caswell is a quiet spot, there's still plenty to do! One of the top attractions is the Oak Island Lighthouse, where you can climb to the top and take in panoramic views of the island and the sea. Golf lovers can enjoy a round at the Oak Island Golf Club, which offers a scenic course right along the ocean.
For those who love outdoor adventures, Caswell Beach offers excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, and biking. You can rent a bike and explore the island's beautiful trails — or book a fishing charter for a day out on the water. History enthusiasts will want to visit the Fort Caswell Historic Site, where you can learn more about the area's military history.
Caswell Beach is also perfectly located for easy day trips. Take a short drive to Southport, a charming coastal town with a historic waterfront, unique shops, and fantastic restaurants. Or, if you're up for exploring more, hop on a ferry to Bald Head Island or make a trip to Wilmington, where you can enjoy even more dining, shopping, and sightseeing.
