We’re getting back to doing the things we love after many months of staying at home. Once fully vaccinated, we make a beeline for the beach.
Oak Island, N.C., calls us to its sandy shore and fishing piers.
The 12-mile-long island is home to more birds than people. Sanderlings, gulls and pelicans patrol the expansive beach and dunes. The Town of Oak Island has a fudge shop, donut shop, ice cream parlor, a few grocery stores, a dozen restaurants and not much else. The Town of Caswell Beach, with its historic lighthouse, golf course and mix of year-round and vacation homes, stretches across the eastern tip of sun-lit Oak Island.

The Town of Oak Island has spent five years creating a beach nourishment master plan. Town leaders are proposing dividing the town into four districts based on proximity to the beach, and charging homeowners a monthly beach nourishment fee based on that location and property size.
“I don’t think dividing up into districts and having one district pay a significant amount more than a district a mile away from the beach is really a fair process,” said resident Kenny Kidd.
The town held a meeting Tuesday night for residents and homeowners to voice their concerns.
“The council is looking at a $40 million plan,” said resident Jacqueline Mariotte. “That’s a lot of money for a small island.”
