The small community of Yaupon Beach is the first that greets visitors crossing onto Oak Island from the G.V. Barbee Bridge and includes the area from McGlamery Street (where you’ll find the Oak Island Accommodations office) on the eastern edge to the western boundary at NE and SE 79th Streets. The Yaupon Beach area is also home to the Oak Island Pier, two oceanfront restaurants and a commercial district, making it the ideal choice for visitors who want to find themselves in the middle of the action. During the summer the beach adjoining the pier is a prime spot for beach volleyball matches, horseshoe tournaments, and an occasional landing spot for skydivers from the Cape Fear Regional Jetport.
