Sling a beach towel over your shoulder and slip on your flip flops if you are headed to Atlantic Beach, where the sand and waves are clean and alluring and the scenery is extraordinary any time of day or night. Although visitors can arrive by boat traveling on the Intracoastal Waterway, there are two bridges that eventually lead to Atlantic Beach. From the mainland in Morehead City on a four-lane high-rise bridge access to Atlantic Beach is quick and easy. The scenic route, about twenty-two miles, travels the length of the island from Emerald Isle to Atlantic Beach. This strip of land is referred to by locals as Bogue Banks and the water between the mainland and the island is called Bogue Sound. A Touch of History In the past, Atlantic Beach could only be reached by boat. It had its humble beginning with a small pavilion on the beach way back in 1887. The ferry business thrived during that time of growing construction and interest in vacationing on the Atlantic Ocean. During the rush of tourist commerce, what is known as Atlantic Beach was referred to as Money Island Beach.

The original bridge connecting Atlantic Beach to the mainland was a toll bridge. In the 1950’s the toll bridge was replaced by a drawbridge and tolls were dropped. The State of North Carolina bought the bridge in 1934. The present day Atlantic Causeway Bridge which is a four-lane high-rise construction was built in the late 1980’s. Among the famous personalities that have owned or traveled to Bogue Banks is Alice Hoffman, aunt of the wife of President Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. Alice Hoffman bequeathed When the Roosevelts inherited the property of Pine Knoll Shores, they imagined a planned community in order to preserve the ecology of the maritime forest that envelopes the land. Thus, the paths at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shore are named after the family that owned the property - the Alice Hoffman Trail and the Theodore Roosevelt Trail. What You Need to Know Folks who visited the beach over a century ago enjoyed the same wide beaches and the majestic sunrises and set sets that attract locals and tourists today. Today permanent residents of the island are afforded free parking, but visitors who plan to make several trips or are on an extended stay nearby and enjoy the beach regularly will want to purchase a $50 seasonal parking ticket at the Atlantic Beach Town Hall at 125 West Fort Macon Road Atlantic Beach, NC. Just so you’ll know, the barrier island is home to five communities, Atlantic Beach being the oldest of the bunch. Traveling west from Atlantic Beach (population about 1,500), on the main drag - Highway 58 - you will e...
