Atlantic Beach is also notable for its beaches. You can easily spend a relaxing day visiting Fort Macon State Park and Croatan National Forest. While you're here, stop by Triple S Marina and Salty Pirate Water Park.
Fort Macon State Park is 3.6 mi (5.7 km) from central Atlantic Beach, why not stop by during your stay? Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here? Want to stretch your legs a little more? Head to Rachel Carson Reserve and Old Burying Ground Historic Cemetery, both nearby.
