Before the weather starts to get too cold to spend the day outdoors, head to North Carolina’s Crystal Coast for an array of outdoor activities.

 

For travelers looking to test their core strength in a scenic environment, check out paddleboard yoga at Emerald Isle Paddle Tours. The 1.5-hour class involves a short stint of standing or sitting while paddleboarding to a calm, open ocean location, followed by 45 minutes of yoga in the sun.

Crystal Coast offers plenty of beautiful hiking trails. Adventure seekers should visit Rachel Carson Reserve, offering five trails ranging in difficulty. Choose from a light stroll to an advanced hike, with the longest 1.6 miles and the shortest about half a mile. Keep an eye out for wild horses roaming free around the island. For those looking for more of a leisurely walk through nature, check out Elliott Coues Nature Trail at Fort Macon State Park, Emerald Isle Woods Park and Core Sound Waterfowl Museum Nature Trail.

 

Kayaking and paddleboarding are some of the best ways for travelers to immerse themselves in the natural landscapes. With beginner, intermediate and advanced paddle trails, enjoy a relaxing afternoon exploring the water or a fast-paced kayaking adventure. Book an excursion with Beaufort Paddle to explore the Historic Old Towne Beaufort Waterfront and learn more about the location’s history.

Hop on a UTV and explore Cape Lookout National Seashore. Drive across the sand roads while exploring the beach, and stop by Cape Lookout Lighthouse for beautiful views. Cape Lookout National Seashore is also the only dark sky park on the Eastern Seaboard and is a great place for travelers to see stars like never before.
