Where Imagination Runs Free


Welcome to the Crystal Coast, perfectly positioned along North Carolina's Southern Outer Banks. The pristine beaches and scenic natural wonders provide the backdrop for a vacation escape filled with rich history and fascinating stories.

Many of these tales are tied to the dynamic attractions here on the Crystal Coast. And you can listen to some of them by playing the above videos. You'll get a glimpse into the life of the wild Spanish horses on Shackleford Banks. Dive into the graveyard of the Atlantic, a scuba diver's paradise. Experience the thrill of deep-water sport fishing as you reel in, or at least attempt to reel in, a feisty blue marlin.

The stories are just waiting for you to discover.  So play the videos to get a taste of what we have to offer. Then plan your own visit to personally experience the Crystal Coast.  Leave life as you know it behind and let your imagination run free.
