Beach towns feel different once the biggest summer weekends finally pack up and leave. Owens’ Restaurant, Sugar Creek Seafood Restaurant, Waveriders, and additional longtime names keep the town feeling rooted in seafood tradition and casual comfort. Bald Head is not the most spontaneous beach town on this list. Crossing the bridge into nearby Supply opens up even more dining choices for Holden Beach visitors. Wide sands and a peaceful atmosphere help this Brunswick Islands town feel especially unhurried.
