About this map

Holden Beach and its residential development dominate the shoreline of Long Bay in this coastal Brunswick County study. The barrier island's relationship with the mainland is defined by the Intracoastal Waterway, where the Holden Marina Ferry and Holden Beach Marina facilitate access between the beach and the mainland communities. To the west, the landscape fragments into the salt marshes and sounds of The Swash and Gibbs Creek, leading toward Shell Point and the complex tidal waters around Sage Island.

Mainland settlements such as Secession, Sivey Town, and Fulford are connected by a network of local roads like Old Ferry Rd SW and Cedar Grove Rd SW. The eastern boundary is marked by the Lockwoods Folly River, where Sand Hill Landing sits near the confluence with the ocean. This era shows the dense grid of vacation homes along Ocean Blvd W and Brunswick Ave W, illustrating the modern recreational footprint on this shifting coastal terrain.
