Ferry Landing Park, nestled at the end of Shallotte Boulevard in Ocean Isle Beach, is a peaceful waterfront destination that offers visitors a glimpse of the area’s natural beauty and laid-back coastal charm. Located along the Intracoastal Waterway, this small park is perfect for those looking to step away from the hustle of the beach crowds and enjoy a more serene setting.

Visitors to Ferry Landing Park can expect to find a (mostly) quiet escape surrounded by salt marshes, calm waters, and stunning views that stretch across the waterway. The park features a small pier that extends over the marsh, ideal for fishing, crabbing, or simply enjoying the view. It’s a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike to unwind with a fishing rod in hand or to sit quietly and watch the boats cruise past. Benches and shaded areas provide a comfortable place to rest and take in the scenery, while the natural setting makes it a great location for birdwatching and spotting wildlife, especially during the early morning or sunset hours.

The park’s peaceful ambiance is perfect for leisurely picnics or quiet contemplation. It’s not uncommon to see families bringing their children to explore the shoreline or couples strolling hand in hand as the sun dips low over the water. Photographers are often drawn to the area’s reflective waters and golden-hour lighting, which create a dreamy atmosphere for capturing coastal landscapes.

Ferry Landing Park offers a simple, scenic retreat that highlights the slower, more tranquil side of Ocean Isle Beach. Whether you’re fishing off the pier, enjoying the marsh views, or just soaking in the quiet charm of the waterfront, a visit to this park promises a relaxing and memorable experience in a truly picturesque setting.
