The Neighborhood:
Located directly on the border of North Carolina and South Carolina’s coasts, Calabash is known as the “Seafood Capital of the World”. This modest fishing town originated "Calabash-Style" seafood, a distinctive style of fried seafood of clams, fish, shrimp, and oysters dipped in a light, flavorful batter and fried quickly. The Calabash River borders the southern part of town, where shrimp boats dock daily during the season, selling fresh-caught treasures. The family-friendly community is proud of its culinary connection, featured at local seafood eateries along Beach Drive and River Road. Be sure to try one of the original riverside eateries like Captain Nance's Seafood for crisp, authentic Calabash seafood and vistas of fishing boats. Although seafood and fishing certainly bring this community together, Calabash offers so much more for visitors, with close by Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Cherry Grove Beach, Swamp Park, Ingraham Aquarium, local fishing charters, and boating tours on the Calabash River.
Getting Around:
Getting around Oak Island is easy! While 'A Last Resort' offers complimentary parking on the premises, you'll also find convenient options for exploring the area. The closest major airport is Wilmington International Airport (ILM), roughly a 45-min. drive away. From the home, you can conveniently access local stores and eateries by car or even a leisurely walk. Public transportation options are limited in Oak Island, so having a car is recommended to make the most of your family vacation. Appreciate the freedom to discover the elegant beaches, close by attractions, and beautiful coastal towns at your own pace.
Other Things to Note:
You must be at least 25 years of age to book this property.
