The Crystal Coast is known for its pristine beaches. We encourage you to take time to swim in the ocean or soak up the NC sun. We suggest using the public beach access at Fort Macon State Park or The Circle. If a boat ride is more up your alley, there are numerous companies who operate day trips. Take a boat to Shackleford Banks to see the wild horses!
