All amenities are private to the community. Get cozy in the oceanfront seating on the shared wraparound deck, enjoy the ocean breeze in the gazebo atop the dunes, grill out and relax at the picnic tables, enjoy the outdoor pool, or walk to the beach that is just steps away.

POOL
— Ocean Sands offers guests a saltwater pool right at the dunes! Hear the waves and feel the ocean breeze while you relax by the pool. Our pool offers sun loungers, tables, and chairs. We do not have pool umbrellas as strong wind gusts have damaged them in the past. Shade is limited; although, later in the afternoon, you will receive shade cast from the sun shadow of the pool house building.
— The pool is typically open from mid-April through early October. As with all of the pools in the area, we are at the mercy of the town’s schedule as they inspect each and every pool for a safe opening. Because of this, we cannot guarantee the exact date of the pool opening each year as it is contingent on the town’s inspection schedule.

BICYCLES
— The bicycle rack is located in the middle of our community between the pool and the nearest residential building. Some guests also choose to store their bicycles at/underneath the nearest stairs at their own building. If you'd like to rent bikes, Beachside Bikes in Atlantic Beach rents bikes (and boats!).

FISHING
— Surf fishing is allowed. In addition to surf fishing here at our private beach access, guests have success fishing from the shore at the inlet and at the rock jetty at Fort Macon in Atlantic Beach, the Oceanana Pier in Atlantic Beach, and the Bogue Inlet Pier in Emerald Isle. Note: The small pier within walking distance to Ocean Sands is a pedestrian pier, not a fishing pier.
— Ocean Sands offers guests a fish cleaning station at the far corner of the property in the dunes. There is a sign and a boardwalk leading you up to the area, and there is running water.
— Fishing licenses can be purchased at a local bait and tackle shop like Chaisin’ Tails in Atlantic Beach.

SUNRISE & SUNSET OVER THE OCEAN
— Atlantic Beach is located on a southward-facing island which, depending on the time of year, gives you the opportunity to see the sunrise and sunset over the ocean!
