Protecting Ocean Isle Beach’s Sea Turtles, One Light at a Time
Ocean Isle Beach is a beloved nesting spot for sea turtles. As a community, it’s our job to ensure the hatchlings have a safe journey to the sea. Bright, artificial lights can be a major hazard, and the Town of Ocean Isle Beach has ordinances in place to protect them. We specialize in installing sea turtle friendly lighting for OIB homes, helping you comply with the rules and become a guardian of our coastal ecosystem. It’s a small change that makes a huge difference.
Your Guide to OIB’s Turtle Lighting Rules
From May 1st to October 31st, all exterior lights on oceanfront properties in Ocean Isle Beach must be turtle-safe. We are experts in these local regulations and can ensure your property is fully compliant. We use only certified amber LED bulbs that emit a long wavelength of light, which is less disruptive to turtles. We also install shielded, downward-pointing fixtures to keep light off the beach.

We’ll assess your property, from your porch to your pool deck, and provide a clear plan to meet all local requirements. We’ll even help you with the paperwork if needed.
