"Circle" Beach Access Facelift
Please visit the Town's main beach access at the "Circle". Staff has been working hard to clean it up for our summertime visitors with a freshly painted, newly designed seawall, three volleyball courts, a soccer court, refreshing paint and look to the on-sand wooden swingset, three lifeguard stands, five sets of buoys marking the lifeguard protected swimming area, and a swingset by the old Pavilion parking lot. This is the site for the weekly outdoor movies and Farmer's Market activities. This is also the location of the Carteret County Parks & Recreation sponsored and coordinated summer annual beach run series, recreational and competitive volleyball tournaments, and soccer tournaments.
