A treasure trove of experiences
Located in North Carolina’s Southern Outer Banks, the Crystal Coast is an inviting, family-friendly destination. It’s where sea, sun, and sand meet, and it’s the perfect place for your next reunion. At Cape Lookout National Seashore, you can enjoy fishing, swimming, birding, boating, windsurfing, and kayaking. Explore the second most visited state park in North Carolina, the Fort Macon State Park, where the Battle of Macon was fought in 1862. Your group can even go swimming in a protected area and explore on nature walks.
Families with little ones will be thrilled to see the variety of aquatic flora and fauna at North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. With an impressive 306,000-gallon ocean habitat teeming with many different species of fish, sharks, and turtles, the aquarium also has a replica of the U-352 German submarine that was sunk off the North Carolina coast. Visit the Harkers Island Visitors Center with interactive displays and exhibits centered around island ecology and take a ferry to Shackleford Banks and see wild horses roaming freely.
Not to be missed is Beaufort, also known as “America’s Favorite Town,” with its lively waterfront. Take a cruise down the waterways, pick up treasures at the local community market and take a double-decker bus tour of the historic district to see the Carteret County Jail built in 1829 and the Apothecary Shop and Doctor’s Office dating back to 1857.
