Onslow beach

The beach is a lovely spot to stroll along the shoreline and search for shark teeth. While you won't come across an abundance of teeth, you'll certainly come across a few. Furthermore, there's a mini-mart nearby that offers refreshments and snacks during regular business hours.

Living just 20 minutes away, my husband and I adore this beach! It's abundant with shark teeth and lovely stones, making it a treasure trove for collectors. As it's located on a military base, it's not overrun with tourists, save for families visiting their loved ones. I've never experienced overcrowding here, which is a plus. With ample access points and parking areas, we've always felt at ease while enjoying the beach. Lifeguards are on duty during the day, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. I highly encourage a visit if you have the chance!

I am grateful for the tranquil haven that this beach provides. Its stunning views make it a perfect spot for a serene oceanfront escape. The seclusion of this beach makes it feel like a personal oasis. I recently took a quick, two-person girls trip and stayed in the Lodges. Although the lodges are petite, they had everything we needed to unwind. I slept on the small sofa, but I brought my own sleeping bag. The loft is ideal for children only, in my opinion. We prepared all of our meals and relished the beach throughout our three-night stay. Next time, I plan to reserve a larger lodging as I crave my own space.

The beach offers a lovely community of friendly individuals who make for a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The presence of diligent and attentive lifeguards adds to the overall sense of safety and comfort. One particular lifeguard went above and beyond to assist me and my daughter, for which I am truly grateful.

This military-exclusive campground is top-notch, boasting full hookups and a convenient location within walking distance to the beach. Although the campground itself doesn't offer ocean views, our site overlooked a serene canal that was perfect for fishing. While we didn't have our gear with us, we couldn't help but wonder if there were blue crabs lurking in its depths. The price point falls in the mid-range for military campgrounds, but the amenities are well worth it. The restrooms and showers were immaculate, and although a key card was required for entry, the lock on the men's room was broken. Laundry facilities were available on site, but we were disappointed to find that the MC Exchange store was closed during our stay. We had to venture out to the MCX gas station market, which was a bit of a drive, to stock up on ice. Despite this, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We fondly remembered renting one of their old mobile homes on the beach fifteen years ago, but were pleased to see that they had been replaced with charming, two-story cabins. It's worth noting that there is some noise from aircraft and landing craft, but that's par for the course in this military-centric area.
