Long Beach, North Carolina

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Long Beach, North Carolina was a coastal resort incorporated as a town in 1955 in Brunswick County, North Carolina. It is most famous for the total devastation it sustained during Hurricane Hazel in 1954; only five buildings survived the storm. It merged with neighboring Yaupon Beach in 1999 to form the town of Oak Island. Hurricane Ernesto came ashore here in 2006.
