Carteret County, North Carolina

Emerald Isle

Emerald Isle sits on the west end of Bogue Banks, across the bridge from Cape Carteret and Swansboro. It is a family beach town with wide beaches, bike paths, and a quiet off season.

Island lots need homes on pilings that meet strict flood and wind rules, and many need a CAMA (coastal permit) review. We confirm the rules for your lot before design starts.

Emerald Isle is about 15 minutes from the Longshore home in Swansboro.
