Tucked back in the food lion shopping center, this restaurant has a modern vibe, spacious patio and view of small portion of the sound. Expansive menu, especially the kids menu. Delicious flatbreads. Friendly service. Something for everyone!

Shopping for the Basics

Although it's a little further than Publix and Food Lion, we love Lowes. Great selection, awesome house brand items, generously portioned deli subs, and half price beer and wine in the tasting area on Thursdays!

If you want to enjoy the Island in a golf cart, give John's a call. Schedule early during peak season. Just be sure to follow local rules about where you can drive (hint: not on the main highway) and make sure everone is wearing their seatbelt as the police will pull you over. Current price is $60/day for a 4 seater and cart can easily park under our home

No trip to Emerald Isle would be complete without a walk down the pier. This Beach is much more crowded than the one at our home, but the views are amazing.

Although its a bit of a drive, if you want a unique experience, visit Cedar Island for a horse ride on the beach. If it's warm out, go in the morning or at sunset. The ride to the nearby Island is fun as the horses go through the water.

Although you would need to make a day trip our of it, seeing wild horses on an Island is awesome. Take the ferry from Beaufort and enjoy a scenic ride, then walk the Island. Take a cooler and enjoy a day there.

The BEST mini golf spot. just a few minutes north of Emerald Isle. A train takes you to hole #1. Waterfalls and caves keep you cool.
