Emerald Isle
Emerald Isle, on the coast of North Carolina, is an oceanfront spot appreciated for its long beaches and easy access. It’s a convenient place to kite when the swell and wind align properly.
The area at the west end of the island is the most interesting for kiting, near the meeting point between the ocean and Bogue Inlet. The atmosphere remains quite calm, especially outside the busiest times.
