Description

Footprints in the sand left after the beach walkers have gone home. The sun dips below the horizon on Atlantic Beach in North Carolina.

Atlantic Beach is a town in Carteret County, North Carolina, United States. It is one of the five communities located on Bogue Banks and is a barrier island on the Atlantic coast.

The town is bordered to the south by the Atlantic Ocean and to the north by Bogue Sound, which separates it from the mainland. To the east is Fort Macon State Park, occupying the eastern end of Bogue Banks and overlooking Beaufort Inlet, while to the west is the town of Pine Knoll Shores.

Atlantic Beach is connected to the mainland by the Atlantic Beach Causeway to Morehead City. North Carolina Highway 58 leads west from Atlantic Beach, running the length of Bogue Banks to Emerald Isle.

Atlantic Beach has a subtropical climate, like much of the Southeastern United States, characterized by short, relatively mild winters and long, hot, and humid summers. Daytime summer temperatures average around 89 °F (31 °C) and in winter, daytime temperatures average around 57 °F (13 °C). Summers in Atlantic Beach are cooler than a lot of cities within the southeastern region of the United States, primarily because of its close location to the ocean, and winters similarly see less extreme temperatures. The highest recorded temperature was 107 °F (41 °C) in 1952, and the lowest recorded temperature was 1 °F (-17 °C) in 1985. Rainfall is abundant throughout the year, with the wettest month being August, with an average total of 7.55 inches (191 mm).
