Alantic Beach NC

 


Atlantic Beach is on Bogue Banks, a 26 mile long island between Bogue Sound and the Atlantic Ocean, with about 1,781 local residents. It's only accessable at two points over large bridges with beautiful views. From Morehead City into Atlantic Beach on the eastern end, and from Cape Carteret to Emerald Isle on the western end.

At the heart of downtown is the traffic circle by the beach. The Circle is bordered by souvenir shops and a boardwalk along the beach. The area is currently undergoing renovation, with upscale retail shops and restaurants. Atlantic Beach has miles of beautiful beach to enjoy and there can be a fair amount of people enjoying it during the day. Beach access are located all up and down the beach. Some are private but there are several with large parking lots for public access.
