Although our eight miles of beach strand may be lined with sea oats, driftwood, and seashell treasures with the season’s changing tides instead of the flames of orange and red oak leaves, there’s no question we’re falling into an awesome season of traditions here at Holden Beach! 

Around our island community, fun fall fashion includes flip flops, surf shorts, and an occasional evening sweatshirt. The aromas of fall fish on the grill, of sausage dogs and chowders at the Annual Festival by the Sea and area church bazaars, and of the marsh drift through on the salty breezes.
