Atlantic Beach

AB was the start of it all, the classic South Outer Banks beach town. Packed with amenities, AB has a lot to offer for your beach vacation, including great restaurants, coffee shops, gourmet ice cream, boutique shops, cheap beach supplies, and a grocery store. In addition, Atlantic Beach is close to lots of non-beach activities like the wonderful North Carolina Aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores, a splash pad and skate park at the town park, miniature golf, charter boat fishing, hiking, and the very interesting historic site of Fort Macon.
