Morehead City

Morehead City serves as the center of the Crystal Coast for shopping, dining, fishing and entertainment. The friendly area provides a historical residential neighborhood, and an on-the-go and exciting waterfront and commercial district. Tree-lined streets with benches and convenient parking make shopping in the specialty retail stores a walkable and enjoyable experience.  Year-round attractions, restaurants, and events offer a wide variety for daytime and evening. Include the Crystal Coast Jamboree in your plans for the evening.  The live musical show combines country traditions with comedy, gospel, bluegrass, dance, tributes, and music of the season.  Morehead City is host to many different festivals and tournaments such as the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament held in early June. One of the biggest festivals held in Carteret County, or on the North Carolina coast, is the NC Seafood Festival. The festival, starting the first weekend in October, offers so much for residents and visitors alike. From oysters done every way possible, to shrimp burgers and down east clam chowder, you'll find the right kind of seafood to tickle your fancy. Visitors to Morehead City, at any time of the year, will find something to arouse their curiosity.
