Breathtaking Coastal Sunrises & Sunsets

Emerald Isle is a south-facing beach which means when you look out over the water you're actually looking toward Florida and the Bahamas and not eastward as you might expect. The benefits of this unique vantage point are that you get to catch sunrises over the ocean and sunsets over the sound. Double your pleasure! Springtime doesn't have the filter of haze and humidity like the summer season does, so the color show is pure vibrance. Catch as many as you can!

Cute Coastal Wildlife

The signs of spring are found everywhere on the island, including the fascinating coastal wildlife. Sea turtle nesting season begins shortly, so keep your eye out for nests in the sand. You may even be lucky enough to see a sea turtle come to shore to lay her clutch of eggs, though this generally happens during the night. What an awesome sight! You may also see pods of dolphins as they swim by on your morning or evening walk on the beach. Spring on Bogue Banks is a birder's paradise, too!Pelicans are always fun to watch as they effortlessly soar above the water and dive in for a snack or as they contently bob along the surface of the water.

Uncrowded Beaches

Visiting Emerald Isle before the busy summer beach season begins means more beach for you and less people to share it with! It's totally okay to be a little selfish here. It's completely understandable. Emerald Isle is less crowded than most of the popular East Coast beach destinations on any given day, but especially so this time of year. Take a spring break beach vacation and see for yourself.

Vibrant Coastal Color Palette

Emerald Isle was named such when developers of the island flew overhead and saw the stunning emerald green landscape set against the sparkling blue Atlantic waters. Emerald Isle is called the gem of the Crystal Coast for these reasons and more. The brilliance of the coastal color palette come alive in springtime and the flora and fauna fill the beachside landscape with burgeoning life. The weather is absolutely perfect this time of year with average spring temps in the 70s to low 80s during the day and 50s-60s at night. Of course the humidity and haze are low this time of year too, so the colors blaze in all their glory.
