Finest Getaway

Emerald Isle
By Leah Chester-Davis

Emerald Isle. The name alone evokes a place of beauty and charm.

This getaway spot, served by Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative, sits at the tip of the southern Outer Banks and at the western end of the Bogue Banks barrier island. The island offers stretches of pristine beaches, incredible views of the ocean and Bogue Inlet, and a variety of water sports, fishing, shopping, golfing, or relaxing while simply sinking your toes in the sand and breathing the ocean air.

Twelve miles of sandy beaches, a beautiful bike trail and a community focused on ‘Nice Matters’!
