Visit Stunning Beaches Near Raleigh, NC
Locals know the Crystal Coast as home to some of the best beaches in North Carolina. This stretch of land features 85 miles of beautiful coastline. There are plenty of pristine beaches here, like the Cape Lookout National Seashore, Hammocks Beach State Park, and Atlantic Beach. One town in particular, however, stands out from the rest.
Enjoy a Getaway From Raleigh to Emerald Isle
Emerald Isle is a cozy town located along the Bogue Banks (the southernmost section of the Crystal Coast). Named for the lush trees that once covered this beautiful region, Emerald Isle features gorgeous beaches, fantastic restaurants, and plenty of great family-friendly attractions that are sure to entertain all your traveling companions. We often get asked, “Is Emerald Isle part of the Outer Banks?” The answer is yes! Emerald Isle is in the Southern Outer Banks, a quieter stretch of barrier islands when compared to the busier section up north.
Stay Minutes from the Beach
The most important part of planning your vacation to Emerald Isle is finding the perfect accommodations. You want to visit somewhere that’s quiet, comfortable, with a stunning view, and (most importantly) just minutes from the water. When you stay in a home from Spinnaker’s Reach, you’ll have easy access to stretches of private beaches, including the shore along Coast Guard Road. This stretch of beach is less crowded than The Point, which is the more popular spot in town. The Coast Guard Road beaches are the perfect place to relax with a good book and watch as the little ones enjoy playing in the sand and the surf.
If you’re looking for suggestions of things to do at the beach with kids, we can help! Upon check-in, every guest of Spinnaker’s Reach will receive a fun guide that includes a great scavenger hunt that is fun for kids of all ages.
