Coastal North Carolina Real Estate, South Oceanfront and Waterfront Communities

"North Carolina offers some of the most pristine and beautiful beaches in the world. The Atlantic feeds the state with an ebb and flow of tide through numerous inlets that dot the coastline. The inlets flow into calm Sound waters and the Intracoastal Waterway, then eventually meet rivers that drain from the mountains and coastal plains. For a life on the water coupled with the very best amenities that land lovers can imagine, the North Carolina "waterways" communities are a perfect fit." (Living Southern Style 2000)

Sun and fun lure folks to the North Carolina coast. Breathtaking beaches, barrier islands, giant sand dunes and vast wetlands stretch across the eastern part of the state. The coastline is full of history dating back to the 16th century when the inhabitants of the first English settlement vanished mysteriously setting off centuries of debate over what happened to "The Lost Colony". From the Outer Banks to New Bern to Wilmington and south into Brunswick County, NC coastal real estate has a variety of waterfront communities for the beach lover.
