Pine Knoll Shores on The Crystal Coast of North Carolina is a remarkable community located on the island of Bogue Banks. Pine Knoll Shores is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the South and Bogue Sound to the North. The Town of Pine Knoll Shores is situated on 2000 acres of The Roosevelt Natural Area. To retain the natural beauty of the area and to provide protection from tropical storms, the town set up restrictions on the removal of vegetation and natural growth, making Pine Knoll Shores the beautiful retreat that it is today.
