Welcome to Paradise!
Are
you looking to relocate or make a lifestyle change? Then you
should consider "The Beautiful
Crystal Coast in North Carolina."
I like to think of our area as "A Little Piece of
Paradise."
I can guarantee that once you visit the Crystal Coast, you
will be back to smell the fresh salt air and possibly move here as a
permanent resident. There is a magnetism that draws visitors back
to the crystal clear waters, the carolina blue skys, the sandy beaches
and the slower pace of life that we all are looking for.
If
you prefer to live at the beach,
then you will enjoy Bogue
Banks in Carteret County. It is a continuous barrier
island that is approximately 25 miles long. It includes Atlantic
Beach,
which the locals call the Main beach or the circle. A developer has
planned to make some upscale changes to this area. Pine
Knoll Shores is west of Atlantic Beach and is a planned
community sensitive to the delicate ecology of the Maritime
Forest that surrounds it. Leaving Pine Knoll Shores
west you will come to Indian
Beach.
It is known for its beautiful beaches, sunbathing, surf
fishing and water sports. Next you will find Salter
Path.
Many locals credit the early residents with bringing shrimp
into the culinary limelight. Emerald
Isle,
at the west end of Bogue Banks, is a vacation spot with plenty to do
for the entire family. The town offers many beach accesses
for
the locals and visitors.
If you prefer the mainland, then you may like Morehead City. Remember most of the communities in Carteret County are within 20 minutes of the beaches. Morehead City is Carteret Counties largest town. It is home to several events, which include the Annual NC Seafood Festival and the Big Rock Marlin Tournament. Beaufort is the third oldest town in North Carolina and is in the center of Carteret County. Beaufort is a quaint historical town and has one of the most beautiful waterfronts I have ever seen.
It is a favorite spot for
visitors traveling by car or boat. Down
East
is a local name for the land that stretches from the North
River on the
east side of Beaufort to Cedar Island which marks Carteret Counties
Northeastern boundaries. The portion of U.S. 70 that runs through
Down East is a North
Carolina Scenic Byway.
This quiet drive is well worth the travel as you will view
picturesque scenery such as marshes, canals and undisturbed places
filled with wildlife.
Now that you know about the Crystal Coast, don't you think it's time for you to visit our area? Be prepared to stay, because you just may never leave.
