Take a quick pause along the Beaufort waterfront near the NC Maritime Museum and you’ll spot the small but scenic Topsail Marine Memorial Park. This tiny parcel of land is a fine spot to take a pause from a self-guided walking tour, and to admire the views of Taylor’s Creek, the Rachel Carson Reserve, and the stunning waters that Beaufort is renowned for.
Plans are in the works to convert Topsail Marine Memorial Park into a small patch of green space, but for now, the tiny postage-stamp sized park features a small dock that extends into the water and which boasts miles of ensuing views. From this vantage point, visitors can watch the myriad of vessels easing in and out of the local docks, can catch glimpses of the wild horses along the Rachel Carson reserve, and can even spot distant waters that eventually lead to the Shackleford Banks and the Back Sound. As a result of this location, the site is a great and quiet spot for birdwatching, wildlife watching, or just catching a breath of fresh salt air. Sandwiched in between busy restaurants and shops, the Topsail Marine Memorial Park is a stunning destination that’s virtually hidden in plain sight along the waterfront.

The Bogue Sound is one of the primary enticing backdrops on the Crystal Coast. Bordering all of the coastal beach towns from Emerald Isle to Atlantic Beach, and serving as a popular portion of the Intracoastal Waterway that cruises through this coastal Carolina region, the Bogue Sound is arguably the most popular – and the most visited – sound along the entirety of the Crystal Coast.
Nothing beats an ice-cold beverage while relaxing on the beach. Nothing is worse than reaching for an icy drink and finding your cans swimming. Coolers are essential for family days on the sand. A good modern cooler will keep food and drinks fresh for days. In addition to beverages, fishermen rely coolers to keep bait fresh, and hopefully the catch of the day. Walk onto any beach or pier in North or South Carolina and you’ll see a plethora of cooler models and sizes. Cooler technology has advanced rapidly in modern years. Top-end hard-sided coolers can keep ice frozen for a week. Soft coolers are easier for one person to carry onto a beach, but can still keep food cool for days. Cooler materials and price points vary wildly, so we put together this guide with our recommendations for your coastal vacation.
