CenturyLink Prices starts at $45/mo in Holly Ridge, NC

When you moved to Holly Ridge, you didn't think it would be your gateway to the wider world. After all, as the newest member of this thousand-person town, you probably thought your life was about to get a lot smaller, your access to the rest of the globe much more limited. But now that you're here, think again: there's no better city in North Carolina to look at life on a global scale than Holly Ridge.

Take Topsail Island. Located just across from Holly Ridge, this member of North Carolina's coastal barrier islands offers twenty-six miles of gorgeous coastline and endless opportunities to connect with local cultures and businesses. For instance, the Shuckin' Shack Oyster Bar introduces you to freshly caught fish, while water skiing and jet skiing opportunities let you get up close and personal with the best waves in the state.

Then there's Fort Davis, a large military installation home to decades of state, national, and global history (for instance, German prisoners were kept at Fort Davis during WWII). Although the installation no longer stands, you can learn all about the area's connection to world history at the Missiles and More Museum on Topsail Island.

And, if you want to get connected from the comfort of your own house, there's CenturyLink. With high speeds available across the city, it's easier than ever to Skype with friends across the globe from your cozy new Holly Ridge bungalow.
