Emerald Isle

The Atlantic Ocean defines the setting of Emerald Isle — surf-facing beaches, dunes and maritime vegetation shape this community on Bogue Banks, with Bogue Sound along its sheltered side. Part of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast, the town balances ocean recreation with calmer sound waters used for boating and fishing. The Point, near Bogue Inlet at the island’s western end, is a familiar landmark where ocean currents and the inlet continually reshape the shore. Incorporated in 1957, Emerald Isle has retained the low-rise character and wooded pockets typical of a barrier-island town.
