The Best Things To Do in Emerald Isle in February

The Best Things To Do in Emerald Isle in February

February is a great month to be on the beach in Emerald Isle, North Carolina! Sure, the weather is a little bit cooler but the shoreline feels bigger when there are fewer people to share all of this coastal beauty with this time of year. This translates into more beach for you to enjoy including the refreshing salty ocean air, the pristine soft sand under your feet, and the rhythmic sounds of the Atlantic Ocean as it ebbs and flows beside you. There are also some annual Crystal Coast events and other local favorite things to do that you won’t want to miss this month, so go ahead and plan a February beach getaway today. Your Emerald Isle beach rental is ready and waiting for you!

🍫 CAROLINA CHOCOLATE FESTIVAL

FEBRUARY 1-2, 2020: The first weekend in February is associated with one thing here on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast—CHOCOLATE! The Carolina Chocolate Festival, held at the Crystal Coast Civic Center, is a local favorite event where you can celebrate all things chocolate. Sample some of the most indulgent treats while supporting local charities all at the same time. Along with the Chocolate Festival itself, there is a Chocolate Spa, Cocoa 5K Run, and Pro/Am bake off, too. Charity and chocolate, what could be better? Get your tickets today.

🏈 SUPER BOWL PARTY IN EMERALD ISLE

FEBRUARY 2, 2020: Are you ready for some football? Join in the Super Bowl Sunday fun at the Emerald Club starting at 1p.m. and continuing into the wee hours of Monday morning. A cornhole tournament starts out the day with trophy and cash prizes along with plenty of food for the game and some cool giveaways throughout the Super Bowl party. Feel free to bring a dish, a friend, and enjoy some cheap drink specials at this no-cover event. It’s right down the road from your Emerald Isle rental, so there’s no excuse not to be there. Event details here.
