Known for its lively atmosphere and community charm, Oak Island’s East Beach is where relaxation meets convenience. Nestled between Caswell Beach and West Beach, this area of the island has everything you need for a memorable coastal getaway — from sun-soaked days on the beach to evenings exploring local hotspots. Discover our exclusive collection of East Beach rentals, each thoughtfully designed to offer the perfect setting for your next vacation:
East Beach is the heart of Oak Island, offering a seamless blend of laid-back coastal vibes and easy access to local amenities. Stretching from Caswell Beach to Middleton Road, this area has a rich history, once known as parts of Yaupon Beach and Long Beach. Today, East Beach is a favorite for families, friends, and solo travelers looking to experience both the relaxation of a beachside retreat and the convenience of nearby activities.
Imagine starting your day with a peaceful stroll down to one of East Beach’s two iconic fishing piers, Oak Island Pier and Ocean Crest Pier. These spots are perfect for casting a line, taking in expansive ocean views, or simply enjoying the sunrise. Afterward, head to the local coffee shops or eateries where you can grab a fresh bite before heading back to relax at your vacation rental.
With many rentals just a short walk from the beach, you can easily spend your day on the soft sand or try your hand at paddleboarding, surfing, or kite flying. East Beach is also home to various shops and boutiques, making it easy to find everything from unique souvenirs to beach essentials. It’s an ideal spot to create lasting memories with family and friends, whether enjoying a cozy evening or exploring the local scene.
Things to Do
East Beach is a lively destination with plenty to see and do. For fishing enthusiasts, both Oak Island Pier and Ocean Crest Pier provide fantastic opportunities for a day of angling or simply soaking up the coastal views.

Family-friendly activities abound here. From mini-golf courses to casual dining spots, East Beach has options for all ages. When you’re ready for some beach time, you’ll find the soft sands and rolling waves perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or a fun game of beach volleyball.
