Here in the center of the Brunswick Islands, everything is close by, from dozens of brand-name and locally owned stores and restaurants to any services you may need. It's the perfect vacation hub, but it also offers fun of its own. There's bowling and laser tag, great shops and scenic parks. And for a little adventure, be sure to take a scenic drive to Shallotte Point where twisted Live Oaks frame views of the Shallotte River. You can almost picture 19th century steamboats traveling up and down, delivering supplies and drawing crowds along the bank.

The avid golfer – or even the first timer – should know about Shallotte and take advantage of its central location. NC's Brunswick Islands offers more than 30 championship golf courses, all within an easy drive from Shallotte, so plan to enjoy more play time. And when you're done for the day, you're never too far from a great meal or a quick trip to one of our beautiful beaches to wind down and gear up for your next adventure.
