Part of the scenic Crystal Coast, Emerald Isle was originally settled by Indians and whalers and was mostly uninhabited until the 1950s. Several years after the Atlantic Beach resort area was settled, development on this part of the island began. Located on the western end of Bogue Banks about 45 minutes from Cherry Point, this popular resort town supports year-round residents and plays host to many vacationers during the summers. Ranked among the top resort communities in the U.S., Emerald Isle offers family-oriented beaches, cottages, motels, luxury oceanfront condos, and spacious beach houses-either seaside or soundside.
You're sure to find year round entertainment for all ages. Kids and adults alike will enjoy miniature golf, bumper cars, water slides, human maze, batting cage and rides. If you prefer, try pier fishing, surf fishing, crabbing, raking for clams or shelling. Charter boats and slips at soundside marinas are conveniently located and offer charters or rent watersports equipment. Whether it is the St. Patrick's Day Festival, Sea Kayak Festival, or fishing tournaments, your sure to find it in Emerald Isle. For your dining and shopping pleasure, Emerald Isle offers a variety of restaurants and shops in convenient locations.
A vacationer's delight, Emerald Isle is the place that keeps you coming back again and again.
