What to Do on Your North Carolina Family Vacation

From Emerald Isle to Atlantic Beach, Pine Knoll Shores to Beaufort, the towns that make up the Crystal Coast are home to countless activities and attractions. No matter how old your kids are, there is sure to be something to do that everyone will enjoy. To help give you a headstart on creating your Crystal Coast itinerary, we’ve put together a list of some of our favorite things to do and see.

• Spend some time at Fort Macon State Park in Atlantic Beach. This state park is home to a pre-Civil War fort and a beach perfect for swimming and beachcombing.
• Try our hand at catching waves surfing the waters of the Atlantic Beach shoreline. Work on your skills by booking a lesson with Schub Surf School, which offers both individual and semi-private options.
• For those visiting in June, check out the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in Morehead City. Taking place over several days, this annual event attracts anglers from all over looking to see who can reel in the biggest catch.
• Let your kids live out their pirate dreams above the state’s largest pirate ship. Beaufort Pirate’s Revenge offers a 90-minute pirate treasure cruise that features face painting, a water-cannon battle, and more.
• Take a break from the sunshine by checking out NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. Visiting this attraction is the perfect way to sneak in a bit of learning. Your kids can enjoy an up-close look at thousands of aquatic animals.
