PLEASE NOTE: Paid Parking is NOT charged for vehicles in a designated handicap space which are displaying a handicap license plate, placard, or hangtag, Parking in any other space will require the use of a Resident or Paid Parking Permit.
Town staff work hard to maintain these features; however, due to tides and erosion, please check the suitability of each access before use. In the event that repair or maintenance is needed, please contact the Public Works Department at 910-201-8008, or through the CONTACT FORM.
MOBI-MAT LENGTH NOTICE: The length and placement of the Mobi-Mats are NOT determined by the Town, but are regulated by the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
BEACH WHEELCHAIRS
To reserve a Beach Wheelchair, call the Recreation Center at 910-278-5518 or visit OakIslandNC.gov/PROGRAMS.
Through grant funding and community donation, the Recreation Department is able to offer the use of Beach Wheelchairs to residents and visitors.
These specially constructed chairs feature corrosion-resistant construction, and large, inflated tires specifically designed to tread on the top of the sand. Some chairs float, and can even be used in the water!
