Emerald Isle Beach - Listed as One of the Top Ten Spots for Uncrowded Beaches

Two North Carolina locations have been noted as top spots for a little quiet time on the beach.  It seemed a bit contradictory to make a USA Today list of uncrowded beaches on the day after a July 4th holiday weekend that had beach towns bustling, but officials in Emerald Isle and Topsail Island were pleased their towns each held one of the 10 spots.

Emerald Isle and Topsail Beach are the two North Carolina destinations named in the listing of 10 uncrowded beaches to visit along the Atlantic. In comparison to large beaches along the East Coast, the small, family beach atmosphere is what these towns take pride in.  While there are busy spots, such as the main beach accesses, there are also areas of solitude.  "There are still plenty of spaces on the beach and we invite people to come" says Mayor Art Schools.

Real Estate in Emerald Isle is also happening.  Prices have stabilized and the inventory is good. More people are making Emerald Isle home! With interest rates slowly creeping up - now is a good time to think about buying. The Crystal Coast Home Team is here to help you find that perfect home on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina. With membership in all 3 local MLS's - we offer more inventory for the home buyer to shop. Thinking about putting your home on the market?

Emerald Isle & NC Beaches - Third in Nation in 2012

Since 2008, North Carolina has had some of the cleanest beaches in the nation - including 2012.  A report released June 5th by the Natural Resource  Defense Council detailed the environmental health of thousands of vacation beaches nationally and rated them depending on how safe (healthwise) they are for swimmers.

Rated third in the nation, (out of 30 states), North Carolina's water quality remains very good. According to Erin Bryan-Millush, an envirormental specialist with the NC Dept. of Natural Resources who monitors beaches, attributes the clean water to proactive local government and lower rain amounts than usual in 2012.

Emerald Isle Beach (specifically at mile post 19 1/2) oceanside received 4 Stars! Good news for those who vacation here - or live here year round and enjoy locat water sports - including fishing and swimming.
