Ocean Isle Beach: Highpoint Street
About
Ocean Isle Beach: Highpoint Street is a public beach access point on the North Carolina coast, about 2 miles from the town of Ocean Isle Beach. It serves as a public way onto the sand, and the details here are simple. This is a place to reach the beach rather than a trail or route to plan around. For warm, comfortable beach days, late spring and early fall are the most pleasant times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Shallotte Ag weather station put highs around 78°F in May and 82°F in September. Midsummer is hotter, with July highs averaging about 87°F. Just 0.4 miles away, the Ocean Isle Beach Nature Trail offers a short walk to pair with time on the sand. Farther afield, Bird Island Trail sits about 8 miles away.
