JOIN ME AND SHARE MEMORIES FROM YEARS OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCES HERE AT THE CRYSTAL COAST OF NC
When you crossed over the bridge from Morehead City to Atlantic Beach there used to be a place full of rides, a ferris wheel, cotton candy and a dance pavillion at 'THE CIRCLE' in Atlantic Beach. All of those things are gone now BUT 'THE CIRCLE' with all of its memories is still there right on the beach where it has always been. 'THE CIRCLE' is still open to the public. A bath house, swings and the 'boardwalk' are there now.
Best of all the beautiful, pristine, sand and beach are still there to enjoy! They could not take that away, nor could they take away the fun of jumping the waves or the gorgeous sunrises or the sunsets over the ocean. There is also plenty of parking spaces and there are rumors (and lots of hope) the rides might return and the cotton candy. That would be a dream come true!
MOVING EAST let's visit FT. MACON! Follow the beach highway east all the way to the end. Don't worry; you have not passed the fort or the park just because you can't see it. That's the way they built it! Ft. Macon was built between 1826 and 1834 and replaced Ft. Dobbs, a wooden structure built on the same site in 1756. There was another earlier fort named Ft. Hampton. Both forts eventually washed away. Ft. Macon, however, was built out of brick and mortar to stay! Kids of all ages love visiting and revisiting the fort. Climb the stairs and watch for the British ships just like the soldiers did in the Civil War! Robert E. Lee was stationed at Ft. Macon as a young soldier. For additional information click on Photo Tour of Fort Macon.
WELCOME BLUE ANGELS AIR SHOW!
The Blue Angels will be in Havelock and in the skies over Craven and Carteret County NC tomorrow! We will hear the 'Sound of Freedom' loud and clear and rejoice as locals do every day knowing our armed forces are closeby.
PINE KNOLL SHORES AQUARIUM is definitely on the list of 'MUST SEE'! The Ocean Gallery at the PKS Aquarium proudly exhibits fearsome sand tiger sharks, endangered sea turtles which they frequently rescue, nurse them back to a healthy life they deserve and deliver them back to their ocean home, a huge array of color and species all in one gigantic tank! Plan to spend at least an hour or more to enjoy the exhibits inside and out!
