ORV beach

Aria Thompson
This beach access is fantastic as it's the only one that allows driving. However, due to the soft sand, it's recommended to use a 4-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle. On the right, there is a public parking lot available, but please note that there is only one way in and out. The parking area also provides two port-a-potties for convenience. This beach is located at the point where the sound and ocean meet, which results in higher winds and rougher water. Despite this, it's an interesting spot to explore, and we've even discovered tide pools with hermit crabs in the past.

The oak Island point is an absolute gem of a beach, perfect for seashell hunting and getting away from the hustle and bustle of crowded beaches. It's a secluded spot that offers a serene atmosphere, and if you venture towards the sound, you'll be treated to a plethora of sea creatures like crabs, stingrays, and fish. The scenery is undeniably breathtaking, making it an ideal spot for meditation and relaxation. This place has truly captured my heart, and I can't wait to return to its tranquil shores. 💙🌊🐬🐚🦀🌴
