Welcome to Figure Eight Island

Figure Eight Island, often written Figure 8 Island, is one of North Carolina's most prestigious private communities, a gated barrier island just north of Wrightsville Beach near Wilmington. Reached by a private bridge and free of commercial development, it offers a quiet, secluded setting of pristine beaches, tidal creeks, and salt marshes prized for privacy and natural beauty. Residents enjoy miles of uncrowded shoreline, a yacht club and marina, tennis, and some of the region's finest oceanfront and soundfront homes. With no stores or hotels on the island, it stays peaceful year-round, while Wilmington's dining, culture, and airport are a short drive away. Homes range from elegant beach houses to luxury custom estates, many with sweeping water views. If you want a private, gated island retreat with unspoiled nature and refined coastal living near Wilmington, Figure Eight Island is truly one of a kind.
