Just across the bridge from Holden Beach, you’ll find the mainland of Holden Beach, or the unincorporated community of Supply. Its name is derived from the use of the Lockwood Folly River  as a trade route in the 18th and 19th centuries. Residents of the nearby beach communities of Holden Beach, Oak Island, Ocean Isle, Caswell Beach, Sunset Beach often formerly commuted to Supply for goods and other materials. Now, it’s close proximity to the beach, easy access to the Intracoastal Waterway and numerous neighborhoods of many different sizes and styles, Supply is a fast growing community.
