Planning a trip to Beaufort,NC next week. How is the public access to the beach in Atlantic Beach? Are there any public beaches with concessions etc.? Thanks.

This is probably late for your trip, but there is good public access to the beach at Atlantic Beach. The best place is at Fort Macon State Park (ils.unc.edu/parkproject/visit/foma/home.html). As far as beach concessions, they have a bathhouse and parking.

North Carolina likes to provide many public beach access points, which range from small neighborhood access points to regional access points. (…state.nc.us/website/…viewer.htm)

You'll be able to get to the sand :-) The sea breeze has been great this summer and the water temperature is warm (83 degrees).

A tip for beach lovers - get a people ferry to Cape Lookout or Shackleford Banks. These are national park beaches that are undeveloped.

Have a good time!
