Discover the Undiscovered Outer Banks, North Carolina’s Crystal Coast, the Southern Outer Banks
January 30, 2007
EMERALD ISLE o ATLANTIC BEACH o MOREHEAD CITY o BEAUFORT o CAPE LOOKOUT, N.C. – Vacationers looking for an adventurous getaway find The Crystal Coast, North Carolina’s Southern Outer Banks, offers an escape from the ordinary and arrival at the extraordinary. This authentic and undiscovered “coastal experience” features water of crystalline purity bordering sandy, sparkling beaches where visitors learn of an eccentric history steeped in legendary tales of swashbuckling pirate adventures and ghostly encounters. Guests take in a spectacular site, exotic wild horses roaming the same shores for centuries and generations reflecting southern tradition. Those looking to escape find spring the perfect time of year to visit the Crystal Coast with weekly rates for ocean front homes starting at $875, an ocean front condominium starting at $575 or ocean front hotel accommodations starting at $445. Relaxation seekers find the freedom to walk for miles on the beach without passing another soul; however, there is an array of activities for those looking for adventure. Landlubbers board an authentic English double decker tour bus of Beaufort, home of infamous Blackbeard the pirate once called home and in more recent years backdrop to many of Nicholas Sparks best-selling novels. Setting sail on one of many area boats, explorers visit Shackleford Banks where wild ponies run free or venture to the Cape Lookout Lighthouse, both located along the 56 miles of pristine sands of Cape Lookout National Seashore. Dangling like a delicate strand of pearls off the coast of North Carolina, the favored Atlantic beach destination of generations represents one of the only remaining natural barrier island systems in the World. The Islands are strung together with 85 miles of silken coastline along the southern Outer Banks, 56 miles of which are in the protected Cape Lookout National Seashore. Miles of shimmering water reflects countless tiny suns during the day and shatters the moon into a thousand pieces at night. Lush maritime forests edge the silken coast like emerald jewels studding a royal crown. The barrier islands take a curious southward curve, blessing the Crystal Coast with beaches that course east and west making it possible to admire the dazzlingly bright sun rise to greet the day and then slip into the shimmering translucent blue waters in the evening during a spectacular North Carolina sunset.
