The Crystal Coast
The Crystal Coast
Island communities, historic waterfront towns, and relaxed coastal living along the Southern Outer Banks.
The Crystal Coast is where the region meets the open Atlantic. A historic waterfront town, a working port, and the beach communities of Bogue Banks sit within a short drive of one another, each with its own feel, from Beaufort's Front Street to the boardwalk energy of Atlantic Beach to the maritime forest of Pine Knoll Shores. It is coastal North Carolina at its most varied.
