5 Things I Especially Enjoy About Emerald Isle, NC
With the ushering in of February and Valentine's Day just around the corner, I thought this would be the perfect time to take a few moments to pause and reflect on some of the things I cherish most about Emerald Isle. Yes, it's hard to narrow the list down to only five, but that's what I did. As you read along, be thinking of what you would add to the list.
1. The Beach
This is an obvious one, but I really enjoy everything about the beach in Emerald Isle. Pristine sands, sparkling Atlantic waters, rejuvenating salt air, and panoramic coastal beauty as far as the eye can see are coupled with uncrowded beach and unspoiled natural beauty—what's not to love? And, I especially like starting my day with a splendid sunrise and ending my day with a stunning sunset.
Emerald Isle is a wonderful place to have a shelling adventure, especially during the winter months. Conch shells abound and there are many fewer shell seekers out and about at low tide. And, if shelling is not your thing, simply find your spot in the sand, lay out your towel, or beach chair, then relax and soak up the sun, sand and surf.
In fact, Emerald Isle was named one of the best beaches in North Carolina by the Travel Channel so the secret is out! Emerald Isle is called the Gem of the Crystal Coast for a reason. Come and see for yourself.
2. The People
One of the inherent charms of Emerald Isle is the friendliness of the locals, the warm welcome you'll receive, and the Southern hospitality you'll experience during your stay. Life is a bit more laid back here, the beach vibe surrounds you, and everyone is happy to be here. Whether vacationer or a resident, you'll find that the people who live and visit here know what a treasure Emerald Isle is. The town motto is "Nice Matters" and you'll see that thought put into action each and every day.
Speaking of living here, it's also worth noting is that Emerald Isle was named one of the best islands to live on by Islands magazine. Having lived here for over 20 years, I can certainly vouch for that!
3. The Activities
From local festivals and events to history, culture, on-the-water adventures, fishing and more, you can never run out of things to do in Emerald Isle. Emerald Isle is the ideal family vacation destination with plenty of kid-friendly beach adventures to be had without the crowds and commercialization of other popular beach areas.

The ambiance here in Emerald Isle is uniquely its own. It's what draws people back to our beaches and town year after year. Once you get a taste of the local flavor, you'll start to crave it. Life truly is a beach here and you'll find that the relaxation, rejuvenation and refreshment you find from some time spent on our shoreline is addictive. Consider that fair warning!
Emerald Isle is safe, family-friendly, pet-friendly, couple-friendly, restaurant friendly and offers something for everyone.
5. The Experience
The quintessential beach experience is hard to put into words but easily defined by the experience. Once you have it; you know what it is. It's evidenced by the way of life, the surroundings, the attitudes, and the essence of the area. It's also a combination of all the above numbered items making the whole beach experience greater than the sum of its parts.
