4 Family-friendly Things to do on the Crystal Coast

The Fall is the Perfect Time to Visit the Crystal Coast of NC

With school back in session, and the summer crowds a distant memory, you might be wondering what a family can do on a quick weekend getaway to the Crystal Coast. Just remember, with less crowds and the wonderful fall weather we enjoy here on the Crystal Coast, now is a perfect time to visit Emerald Isle. It makes no difference if you're coming for a quick weekend getaway or maybe even a fall vacation, be sure to take advantage of these top 5 things every family should do when coming for your Crystal Coast getaway.

1. Play miniature golf! There are several Crystal Coast miniature golf courses located on the shores of the Bogue Banks of North Carolina. My personal favorite is the Emerald Forest Putt-Putt "tract" located in Emerald Isle. The course is located adjacent to the Pacific Beach Superstore at 8720 Reed Drive across from the Emerald Plantation Shopping Center. The course is in fairly good condition. That means the bricks that outline each hole allow for the ball to remain on that particular hole which is really helpful for the younger players. To often they find it a challenge to keep their ball on the course. Crystal Coast Blog secret: Local catalogs contain a $1 off coupon so be sure you have yours when you arrive.
