Atlantic Beach is Centrally Located on The Crystal Coast

Atlantic Beach is one of the most convenient spots to explore and enjoy. Palm Suites is situated on the Bogue Sound, but we are only a few blocks away from the beautiful Atlantic Beach, which allows our guests of any age to access every water sport and activity imaginable. Spend your days on the water kayaking, parasailing, stand up paddle boarding, fishing, surfing, swimming, and diving. There is truly something for everyone.

If you need to take a breath away from the water, visit one of the many sights right on the island. Atlantic Beach is home to Fort Macon; a historic gem of the Crystal Coast, The Circle, Oceania Pier, summer music festivals, concerts, and movies by the beach! Take a day trip to historic Beaufort and Cape Lookout Lighthouse, or the wild horses and ponies that run the grassy knolls on Shackleford Banks. Across the bridge in Morehead City or down the road in Emerald Isle is a variety of new restaurants to try and nightlife to enjoy. Palm Suites is the perfect home base for you to experience all the unique activities the Crystal Coast has to offer.

NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores

From the mountains to the sea … feel the spray of a mountain waterfall. Watch river otters play. Touch a stingray. Look a shark in the eye. Explore shipwrecks — without getting wet. See a rare white sea turtle. Thousands of aquatic animals take you on a journey from the state’s grand peaks to the open Atlantic, much like a raindrop makes its way to the ocean.
