Travel Tips for Oak Island, Ocean Isle, Sunset Beach & Holden Beach

Fat Tire Bikes are Back!


It has been a while since Mr. Beach Rentals has been able to get our hands on fat tire bikes for beach riding at low tide. But we are happy to announce that we have them back in stock now for the 2021 season and these instagram-able fat tire bikes are available to rent at Oak Island, Holden Beach, Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach, North Carolina. These fat tire bikes from Mango have huge 3.5" tires and a large comfortable seat. The single speed, coaster brake bikes are perfect for the beaches of southeast North Carolina and also for cruising the streets. The bikes will be a hot item this summer so book yours early at www.mrbeachrentals.com so you don't miss out on the fun!


Mr. Beach Rentals has been renting bicycles since 2014. We take great pride in having the best performing rental equipment and we diligently clean and maintain our bicycles so our guest have the best possible experience. Mr. Beach Rentals delivers all of its equipment from kayaks to bicycles and more for free. So what are you waiting for, rent from the best, rent from Mr. Beach Rentals!

The beach should be a place where the whole family gathers—no one should be left behind at the rental house because the sand is too difficult to navigate.


The Solution: Rent a Beach Wheelchair


At Mr. Beach Rentals, we are committed to making our coastline accessible to everyone. We are proud to offer specialized Beach Wheelchairs designed to glide over soft and hard sand, ensuring that mobility challenges don't stand in the way of a beautiful day by the ocean.


Best of all, we offer Free Delivery to all beaches in our service area and Southport, so the chair is ready and waiting when you arrive.


Designed for Comfort and Sand


Standard wheelchairs simply don't work on the beach; thin tires sink immediately into the sand. Our rentals are different. We use a 4-wheel design featuring two large front wheels and two rear swivel wheels. This allows the chair to float over soft sand and makes it incredibly easy for a companion to push.


Whether you are enjoying the ocean breeze or watching the sunset, comfort is key. Our chairs feature:

  • A padded cushion seat for all-day relaxation.

  • A folding footrest for easy entry and exit.

  • An included lock so you can safely store the chair when not in use.


Beach Wheelchair Specifications


We know that when it comes to mobility equipment, the details matter. Here are the specific dimensions of our chairs so you can ensure the perfect fit for your family member:

  • Weight Capacity: Up to 250 lbs

  • Seat Width (Internal): 22 inches

  • Seat Depth: 18 inches

  • Total Width (Outside Wheels): 35.5 inches

  • Seat Height from Floor: 24 inches

  • Total Depth: 51 inches


Serving All Brunswick County Beaches & Southport

Beach Wheelchair Rental from Mr. Beach Rentals in Brunswick County, NC

If you are looking for the most peaceful, beginner-friendly paddling experience on Oak Island, the Davis Canal (also known as Davis Creek) is the answer.


Stretching through the heart of the island, this protected waterway offers miles of glass-smooth water, shielded from the wind and ocean waves. It is a hidden world of salt marshes, quiet docks, and incredible wildlife.


But how do you get a kayak there if you don't have a truck?


The Easiest Way to Paddle: Our "Meet-Up" Service


We know that hauling gear is a hassle. That is why we offer our exclusive "Meet-Up" Rental Service specifically for the Davis Canal.


Instead of delivering to your house and leaving you to figure out transport, we meet you right at the water.

  • The Location: We meet customers at the Oak Island Recreation Center Dock (119 SE 31st St). There is easy parking and a dedicated kayak launch that makes getting in and out dry and simple.

  • The Schedule: We offer 2-hour rental blocks throughout the year.

  • The Gear: Your kayaks or SUPs will be waiting for you when you arrive. We give you directions for entering off the kayak launch dock, and off you go!


Why We Love the Davis Canal


While the ocean is fun, the Davis Canal offers a completely different side of Oak Island.

  • No Boat Wake: The canal is a "No Wake Zone" and is generally too shallow for large powerboats, meaning you don’t have to worry about waves rocking you.

  • Wildlife: It is a birdwatcher's paradise. Expect to see Great Blue Herons, Egrets, Kingfishers, and plenty of crabs sunning themselves on the banks.

  • Beginner Friendly: Because the water is so calm, this is the #1 spot we recommend for first-time kayakers.
