Great place to chill at the beach! I grew up here and miss all the amusement type things that used to be here and ZIGGY’S! But it’s still a great spot for beach goers. Enjoy!
So over the years since we have moved here they have done so much to this little place!!! But it’s beautiful and depending on what time of the year it is you can usually get parking pretty close! And if you don’t then you’re there in the summer and they will have someone there to help you get close to the beach or at the least to the boardwalk! And if you’re going to eat at the Crabs Claw you’re in for a treat and you will always have a good time!! Thank you ABNC!!
Great beach in small town. Excellent location but just lacking a chair and umbrella rental near the beachfront. Hopefully someone will chime in if there’s somewhere close to rent chairs for the beach at. Thanks Atlantic Beach, NC. Loved it…..
Great beach had an amazing time here. Swam far out and came back in one piece! Experienced no issue here. Sand was soft, winds were calm, water was warm, and the sun was just right. This is a beautiful beach and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to have am awesome and cooling weekend getaway.
Beautiful! Nice parking area. There are bathrooms here as well as volleyball ball courts. Very close to restaurants. The perfect beach access . Would definitely recommend you park here. I would love to come back
