Activities: Jr.
Lifeguard Program
Atlantic Beach is excited to offer a Junior Lifeguard program to
our citizens and visitors. For 2011, there will be four different sessions
held. For more information, contact
Fire Chief Adam Snyder. The
2010 program was such a success, that the 2011 program was expanded to four
sessions instead of just two. Within weeks of opening the registration to the
public, all four sessions were full. Beach Volleyball Leagues
The Town of Atlantic Beach has again partnered with
Carteret County Parks & Recreation to offer Adult Co-ed Beach Volleyball

Coral Bay Park
The Town has opened their new park at the Coral
Bay Shopping Center, at 915 W Fort Macon Road, across from the Atlantic Station
Shopping Center. This park has a large playset and swingset for big and little
kids to enjoy. Plans include a basketball goal to be installed soon. If you and
your family are looking for a shady place to enjoy a picnic, please visit the
well-lighted shaded picnic site beside the playground equipment.
"Circle" Beach Access Facelift
Please visit the Town's main beach access at the
"Circle". Staff works hard to keep it maintained and clean for our
residents and 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, and a swingset by the old Pavilion parking lot. This is the site
for the weekly outdoor movies and other summer activities planned. This is also the
location of the Carteret County Parks & Recreation sponsored and coordinated
summer annual beach run series and volleyball
tournaments.
