North Carolina Beaches - Rivers & Lakes in NC

Waters that soak into you

There’s nothing quite like the anticipation of a beach vacation, and North Carolina’s 300-mile barrier island coastline doesn’t disappoint. But those aren't our only waters worth exploring. Visit the mountains for whitewater rafting and river tubing, or immerse yourself in water sports on our many inland lakes.
