Cape Carteret
The Western Crystal Coast—encompassing Cape Carteret, Cedar Point, Stella, Pelletier, and Newport—invites you to experience its laid-back, “down home” charm. Ideally situated near stunning beaches, unique shops, and delicious dining, Cape Carteret is a great place to stay and play. Spend a day at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores or explore history at Fort Macon State Park in Atlantic Beach. In Cape Carteret, family fun abounds with mini-golf, go-karts, bumper boats, bowling, and a massive 4,000-square-foot arcade. For even more adventure, take a quick drive to Morehead City or Beaufort to wander scenic waterfronts, browse shops, and admire the fleet of charter boats.
