Holden Beach: America's Family Beach

There are over 45 miles of beach on the Brunswick Islands. Spend time enjoying Bald Head Island, Caswell Beach, Oak Island, Ocean Isle and Sunset Beach. Hear at Holden you are right in the middle. You have 30 championship golf courses to choose from, designed by renowned architects like Arnold Palmer, Rees Jones, Willard Byrd and Fred Couples. Watch the sun rise and set over the ocean from the same spot. From late fall through early spring, you can watch the sun rise and set over the ocean without moving your beach chair. The islands’ east-west orientation offers the perfect perspective for seeing the sun arc just above the southern horizon. It’s one of a few places worldwide where this view is so accessible. That earned the islands a spot on The Weather Channel’s list of “10 Incredible Phenomena You Have to See in Fall.”
