Review & FAQ:
Emerald Isle is part of the Crystal Coast located on the Bogue Banks. The oceanfront is filled with homes and a few condominiums, but there are no hotels on the beachfront, giving the beach a decidedly family-friendly feel. Popular outdoor activities on Emerald Isle are kayaking, paddleboarding, SCUBA diving, golfing, and more. The Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier is a popular place to try and test your luck with a rod and reel.
The North Carolina Aquarium is not far away either, as it is located in Pine Knoll Shores. A plethora of kid-friendly activities give families plenty of reasons to choose Emerald Isle as their next vacation spot.
