The Beach club is alive this summer. St James property owners with their kids, grandkids and guests are keeping the St James Beach Club very busy. The water is 80 degrees and the beach is wide and clean. So cover up with sun tan lotion and enjoy the sunny beach, or take a dip in the ocean. Or, use the pool. It is a popular feature for the owners and guests of St James.
Golf, tennis, boating, swimming, fishing or just This is a great place to enjoy life with you friends and family.
The St James Property Owners (POA) has a beach club on the ocean for the use of all St James property owners. It is a beautiful facility complete with parking, rest rooms and showers, lots of beautiful sand beach and a fresh water pool. There is a nice picnic area up top where you can bring your own food and drinks, or order pizza delivered. Sunsets are outstanding. That is me, covered with sand by two of my grand kids. St James is the only community with a beach club on all of Oak Island. Water temperature is up to 80 degrees, for those of us that like to get wet. There is a security guard on duty to assist us and to maintain property usage. So come on over to get a little suntan or a little wet and sandy.
Snow in St James? Not quite impossible. I have seen snow here six times in twenty-five years. Three of these times it was gone two hours later. The other three times there was a little left the next morning. I do wish you would keep your snow up north. No shovels needed here. Maybe a broom for the porch once every five years or so.
Our temperature is forecast to hit 58 degrees by Monday. Golfers, tennis players and boaters need to work out in our fitness centers for a couple days.

From Humming birds to American Eagles, and yes we have a club for that. St James Birdwatchers Club. An active group with some competition as to who can confirm the most sightings. The bluebirds on my porch and the Great Blue Heron on my roof. All are my photographs.
Getting ready for this years US OPEN king mackerel Tournament. Last year we weighed in a 51 Inch fish which was plenty long, but had been on a diet and was way too skinney. Hope to do better this year. The two in these photos are close, but not quite heavy enough.
Every summer there are almost two hundred sea turtle nests on the Oak Island and Caswell barrier Island beaches. Every morning volunteers walk the beach looking for new nests, and mark the locations on GPS. Then they dig down and remove one egg for DNA records. Then when the hatch is nearly ready the volunteers create a lined path for the hatchings back into the surf. And when they hatch the volunteers watch to see that they reach the water safely. Average nests of 120 baby turtles each mean that about 24,000 hatchlings are returned to the ocean every year from our beach alone. Survival rates are not that good and less than one in a thousand make it to maturity.
SSt James Plantation was alive all week. The beach club was swimming, the golf courses were hitting, the tennis courts were swinging the boaters were cruising and the fishermen were catching. So many kids and grandkids out having a great time with smiles on the faces of all us grandparents. That is me covered with sand.
The Nina and Pinta showed up here close to Southport and St James. They were on the way to Wilmington to go on display for this week. Looks like a tough way to get from Spain to our new world!
These are actually replicas of Christopher Columbus’s ships. These floating museums visit ports around the world to educate the public on the history of the ships.
The Nina and the Pinta were hand selected by Columbus to make four transatlantic voyages over a 12-year period to open up a new world that people pretty much didn’t think existed,” Captain Stephen Sanger said. “You know, a lot of people(at the time) thinking the world is flat and going out there and proving the world is round.” Sanger is captain of the Nina.
Tickets are available to go onto the ship! It is located in Wilmington, NC which is just a short drive from St.James Plantation! This is one of the many events that happen in and around the area for everyone to enjoy!
