North Carolina's Coast
North Carolina’s Coast
Dig your toes into the cool sand and watch the salt-laced grains roll over
the tops of your feet. Feel the sun warm your face and the sea breeze
toss your hair. Hear the screeching of the seagulls and watch the crystal
blue waters of the Atlantic roll toward you. Ready for that North Carolina beach vacation?
Morning Beach
Sun, sand, surf, rest and relaxation are closer than you think.
North Carolina’s coast and 300 miles of barrier island beaches have everything you need to play or rejuvenate.
Explore history, ride a ferry or learn about life under the sea.
Enjoy fresh seafood right off the boat, picnic in a state park, or
savor the culinary flavors of top chefs. Shop ’til you drop,
luxuriate with a massage or pedicure at a spa, or play a round of golf on
world class golf courses. You can even tour a North Carolina winery
and sample some great award winning wines. It’s all here.
Family Fun
Whatever you’re looking for, family vacation, couple’s retreat, family reunion, girls’ getaway, wedding location, or water sports fun with friends, you'll find it on the beaches of North Carolina. Leave your cares at home and don’t forget the sunscreen.
