The Crystal Coast – including Morehead City, Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach and historic Beaufort – combines the best of the North Carolina Outer Banks with the best getaway in history. Here you’ll find the fantastic undeveloped barrier islands of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. The lighthouse beacon sweeps over wild horses of Shackleford Banks, the wreck of Blackbeard’s flagship Queen Anne’s Revenge, the Civil War landmark Fort Macon, Beaufort’s nearly-300 years of coastal Carolina history, and 30 miles of ocean resorts. On the water, a variety of experiences is offered aboard ecology tours, harbor and dinner cruises. On land, favorite explorations are attraction sites, seafood restaurants, shops and galleries. Summer tours to the Crystal Coast may include the award-winning outdoor drama, Worthy Is The Lamb.
