Welcome to Calabash

Calabash is a charming fishing village at North Carolina's southern tip, famous as the Seafood Capital of the World and beloved for its signature Calabash-style seafood and welcoming small-town feel. Sitting right on the state line near the Intracoastal Waterway, it offers waterfront dining, fresh seafood markets, and easy access to both the Brunswick Islands beaches and Myrtle Beach's attractions just minutes south. Golf is a major draw, with numerous championship courses nearby, and the area is especially popular for second homes and buyers seeking value. Homes range from cozy cottages and golf communities to newer neighborhoods, often at attractive prices compared to the beach islands. If you want a friendly coastal village with great food, abundant golf, and quick access to two states' worth of beaches and amenities, Calabash offers relaxed Carolina coastal living with genuine character and strong value.
