The coastline of North Carolina is a popular destination of visitors from all over, with all interests – surf, sand, simplicity or something else.  As the central point along the Eastern US coastline, the Coastal region is brimming with the warm waters of the Atlantic gulf stream, the rich history of our great nation, and the charm of small town America.

On the Outer Banks, we like to mix our culture and our leisure.  Come experience the story of our nation’s first settlers in The Lost Colony, performed throughout the summer on Roanoke Island in an outdoor theatre, where flip-flops and beach attire are always welcome.  Further south is known as the Crystal Coast, where you’ll find such festivities and treasures like the famed Azalea Festival in Wilmington, NC; the Oyster Festival in Brunswick County; and the preserved WWII USS Battleship North Carolina.  Just inland you can discover and experience such wonders as Lake Waccamaw, a 9000-acre lake that is home to several mollusks and fishes found nowhere else in the world or Kitty Hawk where the Wright Brothers first took flight.

Come to Coastal NC and enjoy your vacation the way you want.  Run, surf, or stroll. Explore, discover, and learn.  With so many options and so much beautiful scenery, you won’t ever want to leave.
