There are plenty of ways to see the beautiful sights in Emerald Isle. Hopefully, it's not just a drive-by in your car as you arrive at your Emerald Isle vacation rental. The island and the town itself deserve more attention than that!
This 13-mile stretch of the most westernmost portion of Bogue Banks, a barrier island paradise, is well worth exploring. Emerald Island offers abundant coastal scenery in a variety of forms from sand and sea to lush greenery here in the Southern Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Here are our favorite ways to see the town and its surroundings by land. Maybe we'll do a follow-up to this post with the best ways to see Emerald Isle by sea and by air, too? Stay tuned!
Run It
A run on the beach is like nothing else! Crashing waves, salty sea air and coastal breezes surround you as your feet pound the sand. You can't beat the views, that's for sure. Whether you run on our beautiful stretch of beach, on the streets in town, or on our local hiking trails, you're sure to find the scenery to be captivating. Your options are limitless when it comes to running on our island; it's really a matter of preference.

Walk It
Walking through Emerald Isle is also a wonderful way to see the town, spend time on the beach, and enjoy the breathtaking coastal sunrises and sunsets. Again, your walking options are limitless here. The above-mentioned Crystal Coast hiking trails are also great places to walk, as well as run or bike. You can check out the local favorite walking routes in Emerald Isle or create your own.

The Emerald Isle Community Center offers a Spring Walking Club every Friday morning at 9a.m. from April 1 through May 20. Meet up with local friends and neighbors in Emerald Isle for a sociable and healthy walk. The route is different each and every week and covers about 2-3 miles, beginning and ending at the Emerald Isle Community Center. It's free and open to everyone of every age. (Anyone under age 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guarding, though.) What a great way to start the day! No excuses!
Bike It
Cycling along the Crystal Coast is an awesome way to see the natural beauty while getting some good old-fashioned fresh air and exercise. The Emerald Path is approximately 11 miles of biking bliss that runs from the Indian Beach town limits all the way to The Point at Bogue Inlet. The path winds through grassy areas along Coast Guard Road to LoonDrive, snakes through wooded areas from Loon Drive to the WelcomeCenter, meanders through the downtown district and passes the MunicipalComplex at Black Skimmer Drive and ends at the eastern town limits. Thebike path provides an alternative means of transportation to keydestinations in Emerald Isle, as well as providing an additional recreationalopportunity in town. It's not restricted to only bikes but also open to joggers, walkers and in-line skaters. There aren't any motorized vehicles allowed on the path, so it's perfect for all of the above-mentioned.
