There's something about the Ocean Isle Palms in North Carolina's Ocean Isle Beach that's hard to put your finger on. That's not to say that the area does not have something special to offer; it's quite the opposite really. Identifying that special something about the Ocean Isle Palms is difficult simply because there is so much to discover.

Start with one of the most beautiful spots on North Carolina's Atlantic Coast - Brunswick County. That's where you will find Ocean Isle Palms. Located in an area where coastal living is at its best, Ocean Isle Palms ensures that residents are able to enjoy stretches of white sandy beaches, easy access to the Intercoastal Waterway, and a sub-tropical climate that lets you enjoy your surroundings year round.

Of course, Ocean Isle Palms is not all about the water. While lakefront home sites are available, many other sites are in wooded areas, natural preserves and, for those looking for a slightly more urban feel, there are island-styled neighborhoods with palm-lined streets.

With lakefront home sites, it seems as though it would be clear that Ocean Isle Palms does give residents lake access, but it seems important to mention it anyway. The five acre lake within Ocean Isle Palms is stocked for those who enjoy fishing and is a great spot for those who want to be able to enjoy canoeing or kayaking. Those who are looking to launch larger boats, however, will find that they are able to take advantage of a public boat launch just about a mile away.

That's not to say, however, that Ocean Isle Palms is all about the water: though the lake, river and ocean are all a big draw to the community for many, others are attracted to Ocean Isle Palms for other reasons. A spa and clubhouse create quiet spaces to connect with others, to read, to workout and to relax at the spa.

For those looking to get outside, there are biking and walking trails throughout the area as well as tennis courts within the Ocean Isle Palms Community. And, of course, as Ocean Isle Palms is only about 20 miles from Myrtle Beach, it's safe to say that if you are passionate about golf, you will be able to find a course nearby (there are more than 100 of them within an hour's drive from Ocean Isle Palms).

With all that there is to discover within just a short distance from Ocean Isle Palms, there is something for everyone - and that doesn't even bring up all of the beautiful home sites that are available. Perhaps this is just a bit of foreshadowing about what life at Ocean Isles Palms will be like: living at Ocean Isle Palms gives you a chance to get out there and enjoy everything that's available to you.

Whether you hope to live in an area with beach access or you hope to have a home that will give you the chance to discover something a little bit new every day, you'll find it at Ocean Isle Palms.
