Emerald Isle

The town of Emerald Isle, located on the Crystal Coast, is one of my favorite places to visit. It is located in Carteret County and has a permanent population of around 3,700 people, but this number rises dramatically during the summer months. Sea turtles lay their eggs on the beaches, which are protected by federal law.

It is a family-friendly destination in North Carolina. The town offers waterparks, safe beaches, and a variety of other activities for visitors to enjoy, including delicious restaurants and more.
