Welcome to Emerald Isle from Mayor Art Schools

Welcome to Emerald Isle NC

We strive to keep the web site updated with current information about town government, and events happening in the area. We encourage you to visit the web site often. If you have suggestions on how we can improve the web site, please let us know.

We are very proud of our family beach atmosphere. Emerald Isle is a great place to live, work, and vacation. The Council and I are interested in all comments that anyone has about Emerald Isle. Please email or phone (252-354-3424) myself, or any of the Commissioners listed on the Contact page. Your thoughts are important, and no issue is too small or too big. If you want to see any of us in person, please call town hall to arrange a time.

For those of you not familiar with Emerald Isle, we are located on the lower Outer Banks of North Carolina between Morehead City, and Jacksonville. We are a beach community with a permanent population of about 3,800, and a summer population exceeding 30,000. We have a wonderful beach, and local real estate firms offer a wide range of accommodations. There are numerous restaurants and attractions within easy driving distance. We offer something for every age. If you haven't visited us before, you should. If you have visited before, please come back soon.

For the permanent residents, I hope to see you often, and for everyone else, I hope to see you when you are in town.

Sincerely,

Art Schools
Mayor
