Destination Information

Emerald Isle has been a favorite beach for many years for any one needing a summertime fix of sun, sand and fun.

Emerald Isle Realty offers a number of diverse activities for folks who are looking for more than a "beach potato" experience of lazy days in a lawn chair. For those who are seeking a more tranquil alternative to the glitz of Myrtle Beach, tee up with a golf package to any of the area's challenging golf courses. The best charter boat captains on the Crystal Coast are ready to welcome you aboard for full and half-day charters for an exciting day fishing in the deep blue seas of the Gulf Stream. Fly-fishing off Cape Lookout has been a popular destination and so successful that former president George Bush has returned to fish these waters three times in the past few years.

The placid waters of Bogue Sound, with its winding creeks through salt marsh and barrier islands, offer the ideal choice for beginning and experienced kayakers. This is the perfect eco-tourism adventure for those who wish to enjoy slipping almost silently past wading blue herons and schools of playful bottlenose dolphin. From oceanfront Pier Pointe condos with oversized whirlpools, to seven bedroom homes with private swimming pools and hot tubs, our vacation specialists have the perfect size and price accommodation for families of any size and budget.

If your ideal vacation includes immersing yourself in local history, Emerald Isle should be first on your list. Take a walking tour of nearby Swansboro or Beaufort. Both towns are well renowned for their excellent examples of 17th century architecture. Beaufort, over 300 years old, is the third oldest town in North Carolina. Visit artifacts recently resurrected from what historians believe to be from Blackbeard's ship, Queen Anne's Revenge, at the N.C. Maritime Museum. Dine at any of the picturesque, waterfront restaurants (many offer alfresco dining), and treat yourself to delectable, local seafood prepared by creative chefs. Refreshed by lunch, it's time to idle away the afternoon browsing through art galleries and shops. Late afternoon, it may be time for that little cappuccino or espresso pick me up. Sundown, say good-bye to the remains of the day while relaxing with a cool drink in your hand at one of the local waterfront pubs.

The secret is out….our four season destination is awaiting you.
