The wind is blustery and the waves are crashing here in Emerald Isle, NC. The weather has me in an Emerald Isle State of Mind (apologies to Billy Joel. ) And, to help get you into an Emerald Isle State of Mind, below are a sample of my favorite coastal beach quotes.
"One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach." –Anne Lindbergh
Coastal beauty is limitless and there's no shortage of shells for you to find on the 12 miles of Emerald Isle beaches. Your pockets will be full before you ever run out of coastal treasures to collect. Wintertime is an awesome time to go shelling; fewer people, more time to reflect on the beauty of the water and the light.
“In every outthrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth.” –Rachel Carson
The marine biologist Rachel Carson has a special place in our hearts here on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina. She knew an incredible amount about the sea and wrote The Sea Around Us is a prize-winning and best-selling book first published in 1951. Have you been to the Rachel Carson Reserve in nearby Beaufort, NC? You should! Put it on your beach vacation bucket list.
"I could never stay long enough on the shore; the tang of the untainted, fresh, and free sea air was like a cool, quieting thought." –Helen Keller
You don't have to see the beach with your eyes to feel its tranquil magnificence and to soak up the calming coastal elements. You can never get enough of its majestic presence. Maybe it's time to make the move from Emerald Isle, NC vacationing to Emerald Isle, NC living to enjoy the perks of beach life every day. I did it and do not regret that decision for a nanosecond.
"To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude." –Jeanne Moreau
Yes, yes it is. A little quiet solitude never hurt anyone. In fact, more of it is needed in this day and age of go, go, go. Come to Emerald Isle, NC in November and take time to stop and watch the sunset. Feel the sand under your feet. Listen to the crash of the waves. And just be still for a moment.
"Don’t grow up too quickly, lest you forget how much you love the beach." –Michelle Held
Kids, or kids-at-heart, are never bored on the beach! Kids of ALL ages are easily occupied and entertained with what the sand, water and coastal elements provide. Recapture that child-like love of the beach and feel young again by returning to Emerald Isle, NC TODAY!!
"For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), it’s always our self we find in the sea." –E.E. Cummings
Are you feeling lost? Blue? Disconnected? Come back to Emerald Isle, NC where you can find yourself again. Renew, rejuvenate and reconnect with what matters most right here. The beach is the best place in the world to reset your mind, your mood, and your life. Ask me how I know.
"Our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone." –Anonymous
