Atlantic Beach resides on Bogue Banks, a 22-mile stretch of islands that act as a barrier to mainland North Carolina. These islands face the Atlantic Ocean to the south, which creates both spectacular sunrises and sunsets to view over the horizon. To the west, Cape Lookout’s lighthouse can be seen on clear days, standing magnificently in the sky as a guiding light for sea traffic.
