About

Swimming is always welcome whether for families of all ages on the protected side or a bit more rugged on the ocean side.

We get back into the H2O Captain boat to navigate to the Cape Lookout Lighthouse or the Cape Lookout Bight via the protected waters. The Bight features the confluence of Barden Inlet and the ocean just inches apart. Wonderful swimming here as well as shelling. The Lighthouse features, yes THE Lighthouse, as well as the Lightkeepers house, now turned into a small museum.

On our return to Atlantic Beach, we will cruise through the Beaufort waterfront / Rachel Carson Preserve as well as the Morehead City waterfront.
