For those planning an Emerald Isle vacation with Sun-Surf Realty, there’s no shortage of things to do that perfectly balance relaxation and adventure. One of the best things to do, especially for those staying at one of our rentals in the summer, is to plan an Emerald Isle beach day. From playing in the surf to building sandcastles, there’s no shortage of things to do along our sandy shoreline.
Things to Do on the Shores of Emerald Isle
Before getting into all the fun you can have on our 12 miles of pristine, family-friendly beaches, it’s important you understand local regulations. This includes general beach rules, warning flags, driving on the beach, and more. Once you’ve familiarized yourself with what you can and can’t do, turn your attention to creating a list of things to do in Emerald Isle, both in the water or right on the sand.
- Swim in the Atlantic Ocean. The gentle waves make Emerald Isle a great option for all ages.
- Wait for low tide and go beachcombing for shells. Look for sand dollars, scallops, and whelks.
- Watch dolphins offshore. These playful creatures can often be seen just beyond the breakers.
- Enjoy a picnic by the water. Grab your beach towel and pack some snacks or a full lunch for a laid-back meal.
- Try your hand at surfing or bodyboarding. You can find rental gear at Harmony Surf Supply.
- Cast your fishing line. Emerald Isle is a great place to go surf fishing. Be sure to purchase your license ahead of time.
- Another excellent place to go fishing is Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier. This spot is also known for its incredible views.
- Search for ghost crabs with the help of your flashlights. As the sun starts to set, the nocturnal creatures emerge to hunt for food.
- End your day with a sunset stroll.
