Beach Day

BEACH DAY

BEACH DAY commemorates the July 1, 1999 merger of the Towns of Yaupon Beach & Long Beach into what is today known as the Town of Oak Island. It is held each year on July 1, unless that falls on a Sunday, in which case it is observed on the Saturday before.

Beach Day is filled with fun and family-friendly activities organized by the Oak Island Recreation Department; with some events often held in collaboration with the North Carolina 4th of July Festival in neighboring Southport, NC, celebrating our nation's Independence Day. 

The day's events always end with a spectacular FIREWORKS DISPLAY, performed from the Oak Island Pier.
