Whether this will be your first winter "flying south" or you're looking to try out a new winter home for a month or so, Oak Island, NC should be on your shortlist of snowbird destinations. Not only is the weather mild with highs in the upper 50s to mid-60s November through February with an average of 6 days of rain per month, but there's also no shortage of outdoor and indoor diversions.
Stroll the pristine sands, read a book while enjoying gorgeous ocean views, hit the links for a quick 18 holes or enjoy the close locale to Southport's charming shops and restaurants.
Oak Island is an up-and-coming destination to nest during the off-season, a place where you're more likely to enjoy fewer winter crowds and better prices than that of Florida, Myrtle Beach, or the Texas/Bama Gulf Coast.
