Of the three islands in the South Brunswick Islands, Holden Beach is the longest and the largest. Stretching 11 miles along the Atlantic Ocean, the island is a jogger's paradise. Visitors will find a host of opportunities for assimilating themselves into this exceedingly quiet family community. The beach and the sea are the central attractions in this town, which prides itself on a serene quality of life.

Holden Beach has several restaurants such as Paradise Cafe and the Holden Beach Provision Company. Rentals are available on the oceanfront, second, third and fourth row as well as canal and Intracoastal rentals.

There are many surrounding communities such as Lockwood Folly, Seascape and Oyster Harbour.
