Things to do
Family fun in Morehead City
Entertaining the kids couldn't be easier along the Crystal Coast, as Morehead City vacation rentals place you within easy reach of an array of family-friendly attractions. Front Street in neighboring Beaufort is the place to go to arrange tours to Shackleford Banks, home to one of the country's last groups of wild horses.

Activities
Coastal adventures near Morehead City
The outdoor scene here is never as charming as it is near the water. Kayakers can launch their craft from the City Docks or Mitchell Village Park and paddle all the way to the Newport River or the Bogue Sound, the latter offering access to the nature trail and boardwalk on the small but perfectly formed Sugarloaf Island. Heading out a little further, via a scenic drive across Atlantic Beach Bridge, serves up the chance to hang out at the Oceanana Fishing Pier where anglers compete to haul in the catch of the day and families kick back on the beach below.

That's not to say other seasons are a bust, though. As locals will tell you, there's plenty of reasons to get all fired up about fall around these parts, not least a little more personal space on the area's popular beaches, temperatures in the mid-70s, and the chance to get a great deal on a Morehead City vacation rental.
