Masonboro Island

Whether just kayaking over for a few hours or camping overnight on Masonboro Island , this 8.4 mile stretch of uninhabited pristine getaway is where least terns and oyster catchers nest and flit about the dunes while you shell find on endless unspoiled beach. The water seems a bit more clear here and the sky almost a little too perfect. Robinson Crusoe for a day?… we’ve got you covered.

Masonboro is the longest barrier island ecosystem in southern North Carolina, and exists just a stones throw from Wrightsville Beach‘s south end and can be accessed easily. Let us show you the right put in spot, outfit you with kayaks, paddle boards, dry bags, and more… give you a map and set you on your way for a truly unforgettable day on this deserted island, a nesting ground for loggerheads and green sea turtles, and nursery for spot, mullet, flounder and pompano. Trust us, the wow factor lives here permanently.

Want to go camping on Masonboro Island overnight? We can hook you up with that too!
