The Secret Tropical Beach In North Carolina Where The Water Is A Mesmerizing Blue
The entire North Carolina coastline is a wonderful place to explore. From beach towns to resort-like islands, you’re sure to find an atmosphere that suits your desires. But when you want to get away to a beach that’s entirely undeveloped, it can be difficult to find such a place along our coast.
But there is one place, a barrier island, that is completely unspoiled.
The North Carolina Division of Coastal Management encourages you to stay off the dunes and to avoid walking on the grass in the grassy flats. For this reason, there are trails all around the island to make exploring an easy, and fun, adventure.
Have you discovered this hidden beach along the North Carolina coast yet? We'd love to know!
Masonboro Island is located immediately south of Wrightsville Beach. You’ll need a boat to access this undeveloped island. It’s open year-round, but has no facilities and no drinking water supply. Pets are allowed as long as they are on a leash. Primitive camping for no more than 48 hours is perfectly legal, just make sure your tent is above the high-tide line before you go to sleep. For more information, see this link of the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management website.
