Best Caswell Beach, NC Moving Company
Caswell Beach is a small, quiet beach town on the east end of Oak Island, about 40 miles from our Calabash base. It is home to the Oak Island Lighthouse and the historic Fort Caswell grounds, and it offers a calmer, less crowded beach than most of the Brunswick County coast.
Most homes in Caswell Beach are raised oceanfront and marsh-side houses on pilings, plus a handful of condos. That means outdoor staircases, elevators in some homes, and tight parking along the one main road. You reach Caswell Beach by crossing onto Oak Island, so we time the trip to avoid summer bridge traffic and plan truck parking so we do not block the road.
Many homes here are second homes or family beach houses passed down over the years, and we help owners furnish, update, or clear out properties between seasons.
Residents love that Caswell Beach feels tucked away, with long walks to the lighthouse, fishing at the point, and quiet evenings on the porch. It is also a short drive to Southport for dinner. We are happy to help you settle into your own slice of that peace and quiet.
Summer rentals change over on weekends, and the road onto the island backs up with beach traffic. Whenever possible, we book Caswell Beach moves for weekday mornings, when our crew can get in, get the job done, and get out without fighting the crowds.
From Caswell Beach we also serve Oak Island, Southport, and St. James. Family-owned since 2015, A & M Friendly Movers knows beach moves. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 910-758-0081 for a free quote.

Moving in Caswell Beach: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Caswell Beach. Here’s what we plan around.
Know Wednesday pickup
GFL collects Caswell Beach garbage every Wednesday. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Caswell Beach Road, Foxfire Trace, Foxfire Lane, Ocean Court and part of Pinehurst Drive also get Saturday pickup.
Watch bridge closures
Oak Island is served by the G.V. Barbee Sr. Bridge (NC 133) and Swain’s Cut Bridge (NC 906), which typically close when sustained winds reach 40 mph.
Plan around one road
Caswell Beach Road is the town’s main thoroughfare. Let us know if your home is on it or on a side street like Pinehurst Drive so we can plan where the truck parks.
Southport drop-off center
Large items and extra trash aren’t collected curbside. The nearest county convenience center is at 8392 River Road SE in Southport. Brunswick County convenience centers are open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and take Brunswick County residential waste only.
Mind lighthouse parking
Parking at the base of the Oak Island Lighthouse is limited to 30 minutes, so don’t plan to stage a truck there.
What Shapes Your Caswell Beach Move Cost
No surprises. Here is exactly what goes into your quote, so you can plan with confidence.
Home Size
How many rooms and how much furniture. A condo and a four-bedroom house are very different jobs.
Distance
Across town, across Brunswick County, or out of state. Local moves are hourly; long-distance moves are priced upfront.
Access
Many Caswell Beach homes are raised on pilings with long exterior stairs and boardwalks, and the only road in is from Oak Island, so stair carries and bridge traffic set the pace.
Add-Ons
Packing, storage, furniture assembly, and heavy items like pianos and safes.
