Travel Guide

This was taken at sunset at "The Point" at Emerald Isle Beach.

There's no easy access to this remote area where waves come in to a point from three angles. From where you park the beach access isn't far 1/4mi maybe? Where I was, that's a hike and you need to be careful because parking closes around this time and if you don't make it back in time, guess where you're sleeping?

You don't have to go as far as I went, it's all beautiful, the sand is soft, the water warm and if you're in or around Eastern North Carolina... It's a destination you don't want to miss!

Sunsets in Emerald Isle, North Carolina are truly spectacular! High-rise hotels aren't allowed in the cute city, only beach houses, so you often have the beach all to yourself 💜#bruisedpassports #beachbound

The view from our campsite in Oyster Point. Nice little spots (except for the mosquitoes) with concrete/ sand tent pads, picnic tables, and lantern stands at each site. Every morning a pair of owls would talk to each other as they made their way through our campsite and back to their nest for the day. Plenty of beautiful wildlife to enjoy!

Other than one of the front entrance doors and one of the elevators being broken it was a good stay. The staff on the restaurant and bar are amazing. We had lots of laughs with them
