If you’re planning a trip to the Brunswick Islands this month I know of some lovely Holden Beach accommodations that are just waiting for your arrival. The beach houses are located in a relaxed and welcoming community by the ocean. From there you can enjoy the breathtaking shoreline and blue Atlantic Ocean with miles of beachfront for beachcombing.
The 32nd Annual North Carolina Oyster Festival is being held October 20-21, 2012, at Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. Come enjoy live entertainment, a road race, a surf contest, kids area, over 120 arts and crafts vendors and 13 food vendors, North Carolina Oyster Shucking Championships and an Oyster Stew Cook-Off. If you’re not a fan of the oyster don’t let that stop you. There are all kinds of food vendors with everything from Greek gyros to cheesesteak sandwiches to homemade ice cream (not to mention funnel cakes, cotton candy and burgers and hot dogs). Admission is only $5 for adults and free for children under the age of 8. The festival goes from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
If you need a place to stay while you’re here for the festival Brunswickland Realty (800-842-6949) has many Holden Beach accommodations ready and waiting for your arrival. Prices are especially good because it’s off-season now. I think you’ll be happy with the beach accommodations. It’s where we always stay when we visit this time of year.
