Welcome to Emerald Isle, our small coastal town where caring for our community and protecting our natural surroundings are part of everyday life. Preservation is deeply important to us, from our dedicated sea turtle patrol that safeguards nesting to our role as a bird sanctuary that protects the wildlife that calls this island home. We take pride in maintaining a family-friendly atmosphere and preserving the character that makes Emerald Isle special.
Life here is shaped by the water that surrounds us. Days are often spent boating, beaching, fishing, and enjoying the outdoors, while evenings are best finished with fresh, locally caught seafood shared with family and friends.
Emerald Isle is also the kind of town where neighbors still wave as they pass one another on the road. If you happen to miss a wave, do not worry—we will simply know that you may be visiting. Whether you are here for a short stay or a lifetime, we are glad to welcome you and share our way of life.
Please feel free to send me an email or give our office (252-354-3424) a call- I am happy to help in anyway I can.
Please feel free to contact me by email.
