1. Ocean Isle Beach Is Beautiful and Relaxing
What could be more peaceful and serene than spending Christmas by the waves? We have some of the most beautiful beaches around, and there’s just something extraordinary about spending Christmas at the beach. The air is salty and crisp, the weather is mild, and the sunsets are truly stunning. If your kids are worried about Santa finding them at the beach, tell them that Santa knows the way to Ocean Isle Beach!

We have a few fun ideas if you’re looking for great new family traditions to start this year, whether at home or at the beach.

Sounds pretty great, right? The simple things in life mean the most, and you’re sure to cherish every memory made during your Christmas beach vacation for years to come.
4. Christmas Events in Ocean Isle Beach
Each year Ocean Isle Beach celebrates Christmas in style! From local Christmas markets and the Festival of Trees to “Super Saturday,” there’s plenty of Christmas spirit to go around. Super Saturday is our annual holiday kick-off featuring a Christmas parade, tree lighting, and flotilla (a dazzling Christmas parade on the water!). Enjoy cookies, hot chocolate, vendors, and Santa. This annual event takes place on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
5. You Can Worship with the Locals
For many, Christmas is more than just a holiday where gifts are given, a tree is put up, and stockings are hung. Christmas is a time of the year when people connect with their faith. Our local church communities on Ocean Isle Beach welcome visitors during the holiday season.
6. Celebrate with Acts of Kindness at the Beach
Here in Ocean Isle Beach, we pride ourselves on looking out for each other, especially those less fortunate than ourselves.
Each year, the Salvation Army and local churches sponsor Angel Trees. These trees are adorned with tags displaying gift ideas for specific boys and girls in the community. Nursing homes are another great place where there is often a need. For pet lovers, there are our local animal shelters, which always need donations. No matter how you give this Christmas, our Ocean Isle Beach community will be forever thankful.
