Holden Beach NC Town Tour Holden Beach is a seaside town in Brunswick County, North Carolina. The population was 575 at the time of the 2010 census.[5] It is part of the Myrtle Beach metropolitan area. Geography Holden Beach is located in southern Brunswick County 33°54′55″N 78°17′11″W.[6] The town occupies an 8-mile-long (13 km) barrier island on the Atlantic Ocean, bounded by Shallotte Inlet to the west, Lockwoods Folly Inlet to the east, and the Intracoastal Waterway to the north. One road, North Carolina Highway 130, crosses the Intracoastal Waterway to connect Holden Beach with the mainland. Via NC 130, it is 10 miles (16 km) northwest to the town of Shallotte. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town of Holden Beach has a total area of 3.4 square miles (8.9 km2), of which 2.7 square miles (7.0 km2) is land and 0.69 square miles (1.8 km2) (20.72%) is water.[5] History Before the American Revolution, early settlers seeking land near Lockwood's Folly River applied for patents and received warrants for surveys of selected tracts. Upon payment of fifty shillings for each 100 acres (400,000 m2), the warrantee could receive a permanent grant for Royal Governor Arthur Dobbs. Benjamin Holden in 1756 bought four mainland tracts and the island between his plantation and the ocean. This island extended from Lockwood's Folly Inlet west 6 miles (10 km) to Bacon Inlet. Benjamin and his sons used the island for fishing and cattle grazing. During the Civil War Holden Beach and Lockwood's Folley Inlet became the resting place of several shipwrecks: the Confederate blockade runners CSS Elizabeth and CSS Bendigo and the Union blockade ship USS Iron Age. The remains of the Bendigo can be seen on the eastern end of the island during the periods of low tide. Its wreck is marked with an orange navigation warning buoy and is located between Holden Beach and Oak Island. While the vessel's wreck is roughly 200 feet (61 m) long, only the base of the engine's exhaust funnel and a small portion of superstructure are visible above water. The ship is easily reached during low tide by swimming, but the wreck is extensively covered in abandoned fishing hooks and gear that may present potential hazards.    • Rock Hill SC Walk Through      • Heath Springs SC & Jefferson SC Town ...      • Hartsville SC Town Tour      • Fountain Inn SC Town Tour      • Southport NC Town Tour      • Abandon Brunswick  Town NC      • Waxhaw NC Tour      • Lancaster SC Past and Present      • Abandoned Town  And  Old Cemetery      • Kershaw SC Past And Present      • Fort Mill SC Walk Through
