Re: Ocean Isle?
Other than the possible hit or miss hurricane around this time of the year, Ocean Isle in September is fabulous. It is what everyone else has previously said, a nice, family, beach, and i'll reinterate about going to Calabash, you can not visit in this area, without experiencing Calabash-style seafood.
My sis lives at the neighboring Sunset Beach, and i go quite often, great area, tasty food, nice, laid-back feel- Hope you have a wonderful time.
