All about Emerald Isle
Emerald Isle is a small-town beach retreat. It offers beautiful sand-dune-covered beaches beribboned with leaning wooden fences and a quaint village of cottages and low-key seafood joints. A big day here involves a leisurely kayaking trip followed by a stop at the local ice cream shop, where you can sit in one of the several brightly colored rocking chairs lined up outside. Emerald Isle is one of a network of Outer Banks barrier islands, which intersects with North Carolinaās Crystal Coast ā an 85-mile stretch of pristine coastline that has long attracted those seeking a refuge from the demands of daily life.
What are the top things to do in Emerald Isle?
The Point
Emerald Isle is home to 12 miles of sandy beaches, but locals and visitors alike tend to agree that the Point is the prettiest. Located on the westernmost tip of the island, this expansive, undeveloped strand offers unobstructed ocean and sunset views. To access this beach, youāll have to nab one of the limited number of spots in nearby Station Street Park, then walk about a quarter mile. The sense of isolation is part of the Pointās appeal, but it also means there are no restrooms or shops nearby, so plan accordingly.
Bogue Inlet Pier
A stroll down the 1,000-foot Bogue Inlet Pier is a great way to take in ocean views, watch surfers playing in the waves below, or partake in one of Emerald Isleās big draws: fishing. Every year people line up along the pier to cast off and try to snag trout, mackerel, and tuna ā or even blowfish or barracuda. You can buy day fishing passes and rent equipment at the pier. If youād rather someone else catch your dinner, or you want to enjoy the ocean views with a drink in your hand, the pierās bar and grill has got you covered.
Emerald Isle Woods Park
Escape into the shady, forested environs of Emerald Isle Woods Park, bordered on the north by Bogue Sound. Its 41 acres are criss-crossed with walking trails, and a wooden boardwalk will lead you to a floating dock and kayak launch. This park is a favorite of birders, who come here to spot ospreys, egrets, woodpeckers, and other feathered locals. It also features a nine-hole disc golf course.
