Well, let’s face it, how can you go to the beach and not … go to the beach. With 22 miles of ocean front with acres and acres of sand, that’s enough.
Put on your bathing suit. (You won’t have to go in the water but you will certainly want to leave that option open.) Cover yourself with sun block; the rays can be fierce. Grab your towel, your flip-flops and your shades and head on over. Be sure to bring some water and any food you might want. Bring a bag for trash and please take it with you when you leave.
There’s never a crowd. You may have to pay for parking to get really close but there are free spots around. Check them all out and make your choice.
Spend a few hours hanging out in the sun, dipping your toes in the water, walking on the sand, people watching, maybe even reading a few pages of a good book. All free and all great ways to relax on the Crystal Coast.
Come on down for a visit. You might decide to stay.
Top Ten Reasons to live on the island of Bogue Banks, North Carolina
And then there are so many other things.
The people. The local people of Bogue Banks don't know how to be anything other than friendly and relaxed. I don't know how that happened but it's true. You can never "become" a local. You are only a local if you were born here. More of the residents, like me, are from "off" and we quickly learn how to relax, enjoy and be friendly too. I guess we never outgrow peer pressure.
The weather. Even hurricanes can be exciting and draw people together. But most of the time the weather is temperate and mild. Summers never get too hot because we have that wonderful ocean breeze. Winters rarely see freezing, but the occasional snow is exciting and quickly disappears.
The wildlife. From pelicans to gulls, to turtles; dolphin coming close to shore; squirrels; snakes; evendeer, there is an abundance of wildlife on and around Bogue Banks to satisfy your primitive side.
The restaurants. Whether you want a shrimp burger to go or a gourmet meal in a classy atmosphere, it's all available on Bogue Banks..
Golf at the only course on the island at the Country Club of the Crystal Coast
Recreation includes miniature golf; water parks; the North Carolina Aquarium and Ft. Macon.
Shopping for any taste and style from high end designer clothes to beach shops to thrift stores.
Fishing from the piers or charter a boat.
Boating from sail boats to kayaks to yachts are welcome on Bogue Banks, North Carolina. Bring your own or be sure you can rent whatever you need.
And did I mention, THE BEACH

Not quite Wordless Wednesday on The Crystal Coast of North Carolina!
Today is Ash Wednesday and I'm still high from the beautiful week-end of snow we enjoyed here on the island of Bogue Banks.. Snow is a rarity so even us "old" folks got out and played like children. It was a beautiful gift from God. Came early Saturday morning and was almost all gone by Sunday night. That's how snow should be. Special and elusive. I love it.
Almost Wordless Wednesday on the Crystal Coast

Imagine gliding across the water, in and out of the salt marsh, resting, working, relaxing. There's nothing quite like it.

The Dream Team
Marian and Ted Goetzinger
Ted has been my life partner for almost 15 years. We were married on Valentine's Day, 1995.
We met on the beach on the island of Bogue Banks in 1993.
When Ted decided to pursue a real estate license and work with me in the business, I was not at all sure I wanted that. I loved my life just the way it was and I liked having him as my back-up everywhere else, but not in the business. He was stubborn and earned his license, several designations including his GRS and has become a valuable part of my team. If you need help today and I'm not available, Ted might be willing to cancel his tee time to show you around.
Testomonials:
Marian Goetzinger helped us buy our island home in 2002. She did a great job and we were very impressed with her talent. We never considered anyone other than Marian when the time came to sell that property in 2007. Marian and her team handled every detail and the house sold quickly. They were always available to answer any question and do whatever it took to get the job done. We consider Marian our realtor and we are very lucky to have her on our side of the table.

Our beach home purchasing experience with Pine Knoll Shores Realty (PKSR) was quite pleasant due to Marian Goetzinger.Since this was our first purchase of coastal real estate we were a little anxious.
Though PKSR was representing the seller, our questions, concerns and issues were treated with the highest level of respect and professionalism while the integrity of the seller/agent relationship was very well maintained by PKSR.
Since the closing, Marian Goetzinger of PKSR has on maintained not just a business relationship with us.
After the recent Carteret tax re-evaluation we had questions and concerns about the property value.We had not seen Marian since the closing, only email contact, but the feeling that I received during the closing caused me to believe that I could contact her with our concerns about the tax re-evaluation.
Not only did Marian listen to our concerns, Marian took the time to look into our property tax card and provided help with our concerns. - David

Marian,
I wanted to take a moment, now that we are through the Holiday Season, to say "Thank You" for everything you have done for my wife Kristin and I. Your guidance, honesty, and attention to detail has allowed us to be very fortunate in all of our Crystal Coast real estate ventures. Your professionalism, area knowledge and expertise is unsurpassed in the Atlantic Beach-Pine Knoll Shores area. Your time, and the time your husband Ted have graciously shared with Kristin and I is very much appreciated, and we look forward to working with you both in the future to help fulfill our Crystal Coast dreams! We appreciate the assistance we have received from the Pine Knoll Shores Realty staff, as well as the efforts you and Ted have put forth on our behalf ...especially since we are living so far away in Dallas. Be well, and we hope to see you soon.
Ken and Kristin Rozewski

All telephone calls and e-mails were returned very promptly. Any suggestions we offered were always treated with professionalism. It was a "good fit" and we thank Marian and her team for making our sale happen! Bill & Pat Madson
