YOU'LL GET A TICKET.4 not having a Clear drive by scanning After Oct. 15 I beleive. The pay parking is lifted for the winter months.hope this...

AMAZING sunsets!!! The best time to get here is an hour before the sunset, so you can secure parking and walk to the point before the sun sets or while it is setting. There are tons of sea shells out towards the point.

The parking is free after 5 pm but some spots are reserved. There are 2 portable restrooms and an outdoor shower next to the parking lot.

I highly recommend this immersive experience where you’ll hear the ocean waves, feel the ocean breeze and capture the beauty...

The point is definitely one of the best beach accesses for Oak Island, especially if you have children. Some beach accesses have very high dunes, whereas both accesses at the point are nearly flat. Not to mention, given it is a scenic spot or attraction, there is a decent sized parking lot as well. We really love this spot. There are often little pools of water forming in the area which are warm and fun to lay in...
