If not EI, Why Not Indian Beach?
Everybody has a different idea of the “perfect” vacation destination. For some, it’s a thriving city filled with nightlife and entertainment. For others, it’s a serene resort tucked along the rolling fairways of a golf course. For you, it’s a quiet stretch of white-sand shoreline gazing out over the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Sound about right? Then it’s time to learn more about Indian Beach, NC.
Tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the Bogue Sound in the middle of the Bogue Banks, Indian Beach is a picturesque and serene community where water is never more than a few short minutes away. Home to beach lovers, boaters, anglers, and paddlers alike, Indian Beach is the perfect place for those who never stray too far from the shoreline. Miles of pristine coastline on the open waters of the Atlantic means plenty of secluded beach to go around—no need to battle any crowds for a good slice of sandy real estate. Its quiet beaches also make Indian Beach a popular destination for turtles; every year, hundreds of baby turtles hatch in the sand and scurry for the safety of the waves.
On the other side of the island lies the Bogue Sound. Part of the Intracoastal Waterway, the Bogue Sound is an ideal destination for anyone seeking a waterfront adventure—yachters, boaters, anglers, and paddlers. Head out to open waters from a deepwater marina, or launch a kayak or canoe into one of the Sound’s inlets to explore a more secluded waterway. And the fishing is pretty amazing whether you stand on the shore, head out in a boat, or even take to the ocean. Need a break from all the water? You don’t actually have to leave Indian Beach. The island is home to over 250 acres of maritime forest at Theodore Roosevelt Natural Area, where you can view wildlife or trek through miles of preserve forest lands. There’s also plenty of picnicking, hiking, and biking throughout town, with bustling shops and restaurants easily connected by a short bike ride or walk.
Quiet Community, Beautiful Beaches
Located in the middle of the Bogue Banks, the next-to-last island in the island chain of the Southern Outer Banks, the quiet and serene community of Indian Beach is tucked between the Bogue Sound and the Atlantic Ocean for miles of beautiful beaches and water access from just about anywhere in town. This community of just 112 permanent residents offers a tranquil retreat with access to small-town amenities and attractions all around.
From Ocean to Forest
Acres of Maritime Forest
It’s not all beach on the Crystal Coast — The Theodore Roosevelt Natural Area offers 265 acres of wild maritime forest along a high dune ridge between salt marsh and Bogue Sound. It offers two walking trails for forest exploration, as well as benches and wildlife viewing areas throughout the area of wooded and marshy terrain. It is also home to the North Carolina Aquarium.
Miles of Pristine Coastline
With miles of pristine coastline and plenty of ways to access the water, Indian Beach is best known for its beautiful beaches. Indian Beach and Salter Path Public Beach are popular public beaches, though it is possible to access both the Atlantic and the Bogue Sound from just about anywhere in town. Indian Beach is also popular for its turtle population, drawing visitors every year to watch hundreds of baby turtles hatch in the sand and scuttle towards to the safety of the waves.
