Spending Time

It’s spending time on the North Carolina coast, a favorite pastime for many. From antiques, gifts, gourmet foods, books, golf gear.… you name it, our area has it! Whether you forgot your toothbrush and need a new one or you've found that boat you’ve always dreamed of, you're going to find what you want and more on the NC Coast. Our shops offer the best variety and prices with friendly service to make spending money more pleasant. You're sure to come away with what you want or something even better.

There are mini-malls, specialty shops along the highways and side streets and several shopping centers with major chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Staples, Pier One and Belk. You can take your time browsing the specialty shops on the waterfront in Morehead City, Beaufort and Swansboro or make a quick visit to one of the many beach souvenir shops in Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle. Antiquing and consignment shop browsing are always a pleasure as you never know what treasures you may find.
