The seaside town of Ocean Isle Beach (OIB) is the recipient of the 2008 Best Restored Beach Award given by The American Shore and Beach Preservation Association. The town is on a barrier island of the same name on the Atlantic coast of North Carolina. While on holiday in OIB, you might encounter sea turtles and unmarked nests on the beach. There is a hotline you can call to help local conservation efforts. From the mainland, you only have to cross a bridge to reach the Gem of the Brunswick Islands.
