Welcome to NCCOAST's Waterfront!

Whether it’s cruising along the Intracoastal Waterway in a brand new Hatteras, surfcasting on a perfect sunny day, kayaking around Shackleford Banks, diving to a scuttled shipwreck, lying on a beach or drinking the perfect margarita while eating the world’s best seafood…the NC Coast Waterfront isn't just a lifestyle…it’s an obsession.

Uniquely placed to cover waterways and shorelines from Pamlico County to Pender County and all the beautiful coastal places in between, NCCOAST Waterfront Magazine offers a comprehensive look at everything to do with living on the coast…from the latest in boating equipment to what fish are running, to the best in seafood restaurants and coastal places to visit and live.

Eastern North Carolina is known for its beautiful ocean beaches, fabulous fishing and navigable inland waters. In Carteret County alone, of its 1,063 square miles of area, 531 miles are water. And the water-related events, festivals and fishing tournaments abound throughout the region. The NC Coast's population swells from April to October as hundreds of thousands of tourists flock to the central coastal areas. But year round, thousands of boaters are on the water. Others are sport, surf, pier, or commercial fishing or sailing. There are few days that a dedicated outdoor enthusiast stays ashore. Hundreds more are surfing, windsurfing, jet skiing, diving, kayaking or taking advantage of the coast in a multitude of ways - even if it's just relaxing.
