Why Oak Island is a Hidden Gem for Snowbirds (September–May)

Looking for a warm, peaceful place to escape the cold? If you're a snowbird dreaming of quiet beaches, mild winters, and a laid-back lifestyle, Oak Island, North Carolina is calling your name. From September through May, this coastal town becomes a tranquil haven for long-term visitors — and it might just become your favorite winter escape.

Mild Weather Without the Crowds

Oak Island’s off-season weather is exactly what snowbirds crave. From fall through spring, expect sunny days, ocean breezes, and average temps ranging from the mid-50s to mid-70s.

While other beach towns quiet down completely, Oak Island keeps just enough charm alive — without the summer chaos. You can walk the beach, cast a line off the pier, or sip your morning coffee on the porch without ever needing a jacket (or a snow shovel).

Peaceful Living with Plenty to Do

Don’t let the calm fool you — there’s still plenty happening around town. Enjoy:

• Local seafood restaurants with no wait times
• Golf courses and pickleball courts open year-round
• Bike trails and beach walks in perfect weather
• Easy day trips to Southport, Wilmington, and more

Whether you want to stay active or just soak up the slower pace, Oak Island has you covered.
