Guide to the Best North Carolina Beaches

North Carolina is one of my favorite states. It’s kind of a surprising state to people who haven’t been there because it offers so much in the way of entertainment and yet you never hear that much about it. Because it’s not a big tourist attraction, it’s fairly cheap to travel there. And you can enjoy a day full of cheap fun by taking advantages of the state’s beaches.
Some of the best beaches in North Carolina have got to be:

• Okracoke.This is the most luxurious beach in North Carolina. It’s at the very southern tip of the state and actually requires that you take a ferry from another southern beach to reach it. It’s certainly worth the beautiful ferry ride to get this really relaxing white sand beach where your whole family can just chill out together.
• Hatteras. This beach is also located in the southern part of the state and also has beautiful beaches. The main thing that you would do here, though, is go fishing. Kids who haven’t done so always kind of find it to be a neat vacation novelty to fish in the ocean. You may also get to see marine life, like whales, from the coast of this North Carolina beach.
• Bofort. This is a historic town on the coast with a white sandy beach that is definitely family-friendly. There are numerous summer festivals here including costumed events that relay the history of North Carolina. It’s always a lot of fun and the weather here is great.
• Emerald Isle. How could you not enjoy a beach with a name as pretty as this one? And yes, the waters are as pretty as the name itself. This beach is comfortable and fun with long stretches of sand that make it idyllic for pitching a daytime tent or playing a game of Frisbee.
• Holden. This beach is one of the most popular beaches for families in North Carolina so you can expect it to be busy when you go to visit. That makes it even more fun, though, as there are a lot of activities for tourists. At night you can take the kids out and if you’re lucky you’ll get to see turtles hatching on this beach!
