Comprised of five distinct islands—Oak Island, Holden Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Sunset Beach and Bald Head Island, as well as the inland towns of Southport, Shallotte and Calabash—the Brunswick Islands area is full of scenery and activities to enjoy even off the links. Offshore fishing trips offer the chance to reel in tuna or a handsome marlin, while renowned seafood restaurants offer fresh catch without the fishing. They’ll serve your fish any way you like, even Calabash style—a lightly breaded, fried preparation, invented right here in Calabash, North Carolina, that has become synonymous with Southern seafood. A beach visit is a must-do on any Brunswick Islands vacation, and with the unique layout of the islands—from east to west instead of north to south—you may be able to watch both sunrise and sunset over the water. And as the islands and accommodations range from sleepy towns for casual beach vacations to upscale resorts for luxurious getaways, chances are your golf trip will be just what you need to improve your game and your spirit.
