Waterfront Homes for Sale in Oak Island, NC

Oak Island offers an unusually wide range of waterfront because the island fronts the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other, with a network of interior canals threading between them. That means oceanfront cottages, ICW homes with long-range water views, and canal properties where a private dock puts the boat right out back.

  • Oceanfront homes along the island's south shore
  • Intracoastal Waterway homes with deep-water access
  • Canal homes with private docks and quick waterway runs

The historic river town of Southport is just across the bridge; see the full island market on the Oak Island homes for sale page.
