Coastal Living Homes on NC's Inner Banks
An abundant life, in the midst of history.
Coastal Living on North Carolina’s Inner Banks has never been more accessible. Nestled among cypress groves, waterfront coves and historic towns, Albemarle Plantation not only offers a wealth of opportunities to enjoy within the property, but also a long list of activities that can be found outside its community gates. In any of several surrounding towns and areas, you might find yourself meandering through 18th century homes and buildings, touring a National Wildlife Refuge, or experiencing the life of America’s first English settlers through a production of The Lost Colony.
Shop for crafts imported from around the world, wander Elizabethan Gardens, or take the trip to Cape Hatteras National Seashore, just an hour away, to lose yourself in its 70 miles of shell-strewn beaches. There are festivals, craft shows, and with several colleges in the area, also theater and cultural events, plus numerous opportunities for continuing education.
