The real beauty of this very private island lies in what you won't find, like shopping centers, traffic, hotels, and tourists. With only a little over 441 homes and condos, this five mile, 1,300 acre island offers the best of both worlds. This private oceanfront community is just minutes from all the exceptional amenities of Wilmington, NC and Wrightsville Beach.
Before the turn of the century, the only residents of Figure Eight Island were wild ponies who freely galloped the dunes. Today, this unique destination is home to a select few who appreciate the rare advantages of this completely "non-commercialized" island retreat.
Figure Eight Island is, in the most extreme sense, a highly restricted residential island. It's a favorite hideaway for stars and political bigwigs who want privacy when they're visiting the area. The island includes a yacht club, a marina, tennis courts and boat ramps. The island is connected to the mainland by a causeway bridge. The guard will let you onto the island only if you've called ahead to someone you know on the island and are on the list at the gate, or if your Real Estate Agent is escorting you across.
The climate of the coast and the proximity of the town, the forests, the coast, and the Intracoastal Waterway make the area a favored place for golf, fishing, kayaking, and other outdoor activities. Tidal flats at the ends of the island attract houseboat sun and fun parties. Boaters anchor in large numbers and enjoy the relaxing ebb and flow of the tide and the shimmer of unspoiled beach.
