“The story of Holden Beach…It’s beginning. Its magnificent sand dunes, its stalwart old shipwrecks, its fish shack, its fisherman, its flawless beach, and its continued existence as a quiet and wonderful place for North Carolina’s young people to grow up. It all needs to be a part of this state’s recoded history. John F. Holden has done this for us in an eloquent way.”
