Spring is in the Air and as we call it so is "BEACH FEVER"
Everyone and anyone who has experienced living or going to the Beach is familiar with the excitement that starts to build up around this time of each year. The smell of the salt air starts to engulf your nose and the crushing, crashing sounds of waves hitting the shore ring out in your ears. I begin to pick up my sea shells like the whelk's and even large clam shells and put them to my ear just to hear a brief reminder of what is about to burst onto the scene at 'the beach'. Boaters are getting small boats, large boats, sailboats, skiffs, flat bottom boats, fishing boats, sunsurf boats, any kind of boat or toy that keeps you afloat ready and in prime condition to brave the waves. What an exciting time of the year! It is just a matter of time to count down the days when EVERY day will be a day of BEACH FEVER. Steal a few days, weeks, hours even minutes to enjoy what nature so generously gives and spend time at 'The Beaches' in Carteret County. Bogue Island consists of from East to West: Atlantic Beach, Pine Knoll Shores, Salter Path, Indian Beach, Emerald Isle. Enjoy the numerous uninhabited and inhabited Islands in our area also including Shackelford, Cape Lookout, Harkers Island, Radio Island, Cedar Island, Carrot Island and many, many others.
