Thanks Mark!

I found the Oak Island official Town/municipality website. They have their muni code online, and I read through that - there is absolutely no mention of sailboats or beach landings - it's limited to rules about surfing near piers and age restrictions on "personal water craft" ie, ski-doos/jet-skis.

I would like to make a trip out to/around Bald Head island - I wonder if one can land there - private enclave that it is. The NC DOT shows a public ramp at the ICW just before the ICW enters the Cape Fear River, so that may be the easiest place to put in, and then just sail around to the beach access nearest the house I've rented.
