Shackleford Banks

Shackleford Banks near Morehead City, Beaufort and Atlantic Beach has long been a favorite for beach lovers. If you have a boat, you can anchor it in the shallow waters on the soundside and wade ashore. There are also several water taxis that will take you to the island for a fee. On the weekends there will sometimes be hundreds of boats anchored off the island. During the week there are few boats and you can have the island almost all to yourself. We usually try to take the grandchildren there a couple of times each summer.

We went on Thursday this week and there was only a few people on the island. The weather was overcast and there was a nice breeze to keep us cool. 

This is 5/6's of the group. The sixth person, me, is taking the picture.
