Long Beach, North Carolina
Seaside town in North Carolina, United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Long Beach, North Carolina is a coastal neighborhood on Oak Island incorporated in 1955. It is well known for the total devastation it sustained during Hurricane Hazel in 1954; only five of the 357 buildings survived the storm.[1] It merged with neighboring Yaupon Beach in 1999 to form the town of Oak Island and is now a neighborhood of the town.
The community derives its name from one of the longest stretches of beach in the area.[2]
