365 Cool Things to do at the Crystal Coast #2

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.

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.

Not quite Wordless Wednesday on The Crystal Coast of North Carolina!


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.
