Welcome to a place that swims in both rich history and

remains as true as the blue waters that surround it.
Here, a new definition of escape is yours to discover.
Welcome to North Carolina’s Crystal Coast.
From the sands of Emerald Isle to the history and waterfront charm of
Beaufort, life here has always focused on the water. This is just as true
today, and visitors will find a variety of activities in, on and around the
water, including world-class fishing, scuba diving and boating. There’s
as much to love on land, with Civil War-era Fort Macon, the Cape
Lookout Lighthouse and 82 miles of coastal charm waiting for you.
With so much to experience and explore, there truly is no place like
the Crystal Coast to leave life as you know it behind and let your
imagination run free.

History & Heritage
Spanish explorers landed on these shores in the 1500s. Union
and Confederate troops fought over them during the Civil
War. Pirates, including Blackbeard, controlled these waters in
times passed. Today, their footprints still remain on the sands
and in the waters everywhere you look.
Cannon fire still echoes on the ramparts and

Union forces during the Civil War. Now a 398-acre

state park and museum, the Fort brings history alive
with reenactments and daily tours of the grounds.
All across the area, the heart of the past still
descended from Spanish horses that swam ashore hundreds of years ago. With the
lighthouse in the background, they roam the island, giving visitors a window to the past.
In Beaufort, life during Colonial times waits to be discovered. The quaint streets
beats strong at museums like The History

Beaches, Nature & The Outdoors
Unspoiled. Untouched. Incomparable. There may be over 400 miles
of coastline in North Carolina, but none are as inviting and enchanting
as The Crystal Coast. Here, you’ll find the only destination in the state
with a National Forest, National Seashore and State Park all in the
same county. The beach is only the beginning.
N aturally, in a place where life revolves around the water, visitors will find
the perfect way to enjoy the ocean on land: the North Carolina Aquarium at
Pine Knoll Shores. Through acres of exhibits, families come face to face with
sharks, sea turtles and other dwellers of the deep, some of which swim through
a replica of Blackbeard’s sunken pirate ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge.
Nature’s beauty can be seen on land as well. Some of the state’s finest bird
watching can be found here, as The Crystal Coast is a protected nesting
habitat for a number of bird species. Acres of preserved natural environment
also provide visitors endless ways to do more than watch nature, they can lose
themselves in its beauty.
These are the beaches of dreams. They offer up sun, shelling and
At just the right time of day, the rays of the sun dance on the water’s

secluded sands of Cape Lookout, the ocean has been calling families and
couples here for decades. And there is no doubt that, like them, you will
hear the call as well.

On, In & Under the Water
From the tip of Emerald Isle to the
far reaches of Cape Lookout, life
here has always revolved around
the water. Today, those who come
to these shores will find some of
the best fishing, diving and boating
in the country, all wrapped in an
authentic coastal charm no other
destination can match.
M arlin. Giant Bluefin Tuna. King
Mackerel. These are just a few of the
fish that visit the ocean off North
Carolina’s Crystal Coast each year,
and competitions like the Big Rock
Blue Marlin Tournament have lured
sportsmen here in hopes of landing
big prizes. For the casual angler, charter
boats will take them to the same waters,
or they can simply cast their line on one
of the several fishing piers or in the surf
on any number of beaches.
But there are other wonders
beneath the surface. As one of the top

For those more at home on solid ground, there is just as much
to do and discover on land as there is on the water.
From the back of a horse, the saddle of a bicycle or
simply on your own two feet, the rides and hiking trails you’ll
discover on The Crystal Coast seem as endless as the ocean.
Local stables offer guided horseback tours along deserted
stretches of beach. You can rent a “beach cruiser” bike and
pedal along the water or through historic streets. Or you can
wander the miles of hiking trails, either with a guide or on your
own. One recommendation: bring comfortable shoes.

estuaries and inland creeks and rivers, providing an experience as
scenic as it is challenging.
As the sun sets on another spectacular day, many visitors prefer to
sleep under a blanket of stars. For them, there are a number of campsites
throughout the area, including a true camping experience on the sands of
the Cape Lookout National Seashore. All it takes is a tent, a permit and a
desire to embrace nature for the night.
Families will find plenty of other ways to spend a day, a week or a
lifetime. The ocean breezes make for perfect kite flying. Miniature golf
courses provide hours of fun and competition. Leave life as you know it
behind, and come out and play on The Crystal Coast.

W here nature leaves off at sunset, the streets and towns of The Crystal
Coast begin. Entertainment abounds at The Crystal Coast Jamboree, a festival
of song and dance. There are a number of movie theatres across the region,
bringing Hollywood’s latest to the big screen. And bring a flashlight to Historic
Beaufort for an unforgettable “ghost walk,” a tour of historic haunts sure to
both thrill and chill.
Eats & Entertainment
Often, the moments we remember the most involve food, and
this is just as true here as anywhere. With world-famous fishing,
North Carolina’s Crystal Coast is famous for its seafood. But the
sea is only where our cuisine starts. Here you’ll find a variety of
restaurants serving up dishes both traditional and creative, from
North Carolina barbecue to classic bistro fare. There are familyfriendly eateries and romantic gourmet destinations, many with
history and stories as delicious as the food.
