I’ll three of North Carolina aquariums are different. They have some similarities, but also unique. I like this one because it’s organized by region of the state and it flows nicely. It’s very educational and relaxing. I love the outside walkway and it’s great views. The kids love the climbing nets and the tire swing on the playground.

Professor Hacker's Lost Treasure Golf and Raceway

Reviewed By Susan T - Mars, Pennsylvania, United States

We went mini golfing and rode the go karts. The go karts were a big hit. At $8.75 a person it was worth it. The golf was $10 per person. There are two 18 hole golf courses to choose from. The courses are well maintained and lots of fun.

Island Express Ferry Service

Island Express Ferry Service is the ONLY ferry service out of Beaufort and Harkers Island, NC that is authorized by the National Park Service to drop passengers off at Shackleford Banks and Cape Lookout. Shackleford Banks is the southernmost barrier island in Cape Lookout National Seashore. Shackleford Banks is a pristine island with one of the best shelling beaches in North Carolina. Famous for the wild banker horses that roam the uninhabited island, this is one of the few places in the eastern United States where wild horses can still be seen. Enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Cape Lookout, famous for the Cape Lookout Lighthouse Station. While you are there, take time to collect some of the most beautiful shells in the world. Bird watch, swim in the ocean, climb the lighthouse, or ride our famous Beach Shuttle. There is something for everyone to enjoy on this island paradise. Island Express Ferry Service is an authorized National Park Service Concessionaire. Although our name has, at times, been confused with smaller services that do not go to Shackleford Banks or Cape Lookout, there is only one ISLAND EXPRESS FERRY SERVICE. Be sure to add an S for Services when looking for us online.

Reasonably priced transportation to beautiful locations on The Crystal Coast. We rode one of the bigger boats this time so we had a smoother ride. The smaller boats can project a little chop onto the hind quarters (if you know what I'm saying).We are glad you had a smooth ride. We now have five of the large vessels in our fleet for our passengers comfort. Please come back and ride with us soon!

Fort Macon

A Civil War fortress located at the entrance of Beaufort Inlet.

Reviewed By alani312016 - Fayetteville, North Carolina

We visited in the middle of the week and it was a really nice visit. Not crowded at all and the grounds were very clean and inviting. Very informative about the history of this location and very nice pictures to look at. There is a lot of walking to do, so wear comfortable shoes and sunscreen is a must. Also a water bottle is recommended. I didn't see any place to grab a snack, so be prepared. Parking was very easy, but only if its on a non-busy weekday.

Crystal Coast Country Club

Reviewed By robert r - Durham, North Carolina

While I used to belong to a nice country club in Durham, this club is terrific in many ways, but I'll confine my critique just to last nights Christmas party, which is typical of most gatherings there. Roast beef station,great. Seafood station, wonderful. Hot appetizers fantastic, they had trays being served all night long, I especially loved the wrapped in pastry veggies. Healthy and fresh veggie dips, unusual and tasty desserts as well. A fellow played guitar, really festive.
Friendly members, all, do go by, you will enjoy this club. Bob Ross

Reviewed By DC12345678 - Washington DC

I called last minute to schedule a kiteboard lesson. Michael was more than accommodating to get me in the water quickly. He is very thoughtful and careful instructor, with good equipment and an almost perfect spot for teaching. We ended up cutting the lesson short due to wind dying out, but I will be back for more.

Theodore Roosevelt Natural Area

Reviewed By wbullseye - Windermere, Florida

The Theodore Roosevelt Natural Area provides a short hike along the marsh. The trail is located next to the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. However unlike the aquarium, the trail is free so it offers a good and affordable spot for everyone. The hours are posted as the same for the aquarium, but you don't need to go through the aquarium to get to it so don't know how it is monitored.

The trail itself is only about two miles total and is not that difficult. If you are there during the summertime I would recommend wearing bug repellent as I was eaten alive for the first part of the trail. Along the trail are signs that explain different flora. You can also expect to see different animals to include different varieties of birds and other animals such as squirrels.

While not the most scenic of nature trails, the Theodore Roosevelt Natural Area is definitely worth it while in the Outer Banks. While others might be sitting on crowded beaches, those who choose to see areas less travelled should consider hiking along this trail. It is easy and offers some good views. If your going to the aquarium, this is a good add-on for the entire family.
