Morehead City

Morehead City is a coastal town with true southern hospitality and something for everyone from ages one to one-hundred. Nestled along the eastern shore of North Carolina (A.K.A. "The Crystal Coast"), Morehead City is in a prime location to take advantage of the state's many attractions.

From fishing charters and scenic cruises to parasail tours and personal watercraft use, Morehead's Bogue Sound offers endless possibilities for a day on the water. If it's a deeper adventure you're looking for, take a charter boat to dive at one of our world-famous wrecks such as "U-352" or Blackbeard's "Queen Anne's Revenge."

"Landlubbers" may enjoy visiting the neighboring town of Beaufort to learn about legendary local pirates or to tour historical century-old homes and cemetaries. Once you've worked up an appetite, either by land or by sea, be sure to visit one of our local restaurants for a true taste of Carteret County. From fresh seafood caught right out our back door to delicious steaks and regional fare, Morehead City is sure to offer something to tickle your tastebuds.

After dinner, be sure to take a stroll down our famous "Waterfront." There you can watch local charter boats bring in their catches of the day, shop for nautical treasures, and treat the family to ice cream (if you have room for it!) After the kiddies have been tucked in, you'll want to return to the "Waterfront" to take advantage of the fabulous nightlife in a laid-back, coastal setting. Listen to local and national bands while enjoying a cold beverage and the beautiful views of Bogue Sound at night.

Morehead City is a truly spectacular place to visit time and time again. If one would ask "Why visit Morehead City?” the only answer should be… “Why wouldn’t you?”
