The beach is an ideal spot for a refreshing stroll during any time of the day. Whether it's a peaceful sunrise or a serene sunset, the beach always offers a tranquil ambiance for a leisurely walk. Moreover, the beach is regularly maintained and kept tidy, and every morning, the locals make it a point to clean up any litter that may have washed up on the shore.

The shoreline is absolutely stunning, with the water displaying a mesmerizing shade of emerald green. However, it has a more laid-back atmosphere in contrast to the bustling surf city and topsail beaches. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the beach leaves something to be desired, with cigarette butts and some scattered litter marring the otherwise picturesque scenery.

As per my experience at the Holiday Travel Park Camping, I must say that the beach is a delightful sight for sore eyes. The sand is immaculate and the atmosphere is serene. The locals are amicable and welcoming, making the visit all the more enjoyable. My furry friend, Jehu, had a gala time at the beach and didn't want to leave. Overall, it was an incredible experience that I would love to relive.

Although the waves were quite strong, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this beach. It was my inaugural visit to a North Carolina beach, having previously explored the shores of Atlantic City. Speaking of which, that beach was also quite impressive. However, one must exercise caution as sharks may be present. Thankfully, there are vigilant lifeguards who keep watch and alert beachgoers if any sharks are spotted. I speak from experience, as I encountered this situation at Atlantic City Beach.

Located just a short drive away from Jacksonville, NC and Camp Lejeune, lies a beach that will leave you awestruck. The beauty of this place is incomparable, especially during the sunrise. Even though Boque Inlet Fishing Pier is closed, it still remains a photographer's paradise. As someone who usually prefers the mountains, I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised by this beach. I visited during the off-season, which was perfect for someone like me who enjoys solitude. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway, this beach is the perfect place for you.
