Visitors to coastal North Carolina will most likely cross the Intracoastal Waterway during some portion of their expedition, and there's a good chance that they'll cross this massive water route multiple times. Extending all the way from the northern region of the country to the Gulf Coast, the waterway, which began as an essential trade route for shipping companies, is now more commonly used as a recreational trail for North Carolina sailors and boaters who want to explore the depth of the East Coast without straying too far from the Atlantic beaches. The Outer Banks runs parallel to the waterway, and visitors who venture inland to explore the small towns of the Inner Banks will come in contact with the waterway on a regular basis. Lined with shops, marinas, and waterfront restaurants, and busy on warm summer days with maritime traffic in the middle of a 3,000 mile trip, or just local boaters out for an afternoon cruise, the Intracoastal Waterway is a unique portion of the Outer Banks region, and definitely worth a visit for maritime lovers of all varieties. Geography of the Intracoastal Waterway Nationally, the Intracoastal Waterway extends 3,000 miles from the heart of New York to the Gulf of Mexico facing beaches before trickling north, and is a significant portion of "America's Great Loop," an extensive waterway that literally loops from the East Coast to the Gulf of Mexico and then winds back up through the central states before hitting the Great Lakes region. Obviously, a cruise along the entirety of this waterway, which basically circles around half of the country, is an adventure best left to travelers with a few months on their hands and a love of cross-country travel. Locally, North Carolina visitors who aren't on board for a 3,000 mile trip will find plenty of scenic portions of the Intracoastal Waterway that run through the state, often along the Outer and Inner Banks' backyards. Along the Outer Banks, the waterway begins in northern Currituck County where it trickles south in two distinct routes: one that winds through the Great Dismal Swamp near Edenton and Elizabeth City and one route that is much wider and borders mainland Currituck County. These two routes combine in the Albemarle Sound, and for 20 or so miles, the Intracoastal Waterway turns into a wide-open parcel of soundfront until it connects to East Lake on the western edge of Dare County. From there, the waterway narrows significantly as it cuts through the mainland across Columbia and skirts past Tyrell County and the Lake Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge. The Intracoastal Waterway widens again as it joins with the open waters of the Pamlico Sound in Hyde County, and continues to hug the mainland coastline bordering the sound until it reaches Cedar Island, where it cuts across a marshy waterway into Beaufort and continues south down the coastline. During the Intracoastal Waterway's route through the northern half of North Carolina, the waterway is always about 10-50 miles away from the Outer Banks. The route itself is incredibly diverse through all portions, sometimes consisting of a sail through miles of open sound water, and sometimes consisting of narrow waterways that are bordered by marshes, swamps or thick patches of dense forest. Essentially, mariners who travel just this small portion of Intracoastal Waterway, located parallel to the Outer Banks, will an enjoy a cross section of what the route in its 3,000 mile entirety is all about. With scenic views all around, and charming marinas, restaurants and shops located through the passage for the convenience of mariners, a simple trip exploring this Inner Banks region of the Intracoastal Waterway will certainly feel like an enjoyable, worldly adventure. History of the Intracoastal Waterway Even though the Intracoastal Waterway is relatively new by world history standards, being officially developed in the 1800s, the history of transporting goods along the Inner Banks is as old as the country itself. Beginning with the settlements along the Albemarle region and the Jamestown colony in Virginia, it soon became crystal clear that traders and shipping vessels needs an easier way to access multiple parts of the country that did not entail a long trip through the Atlantic Ocean. After all, as early as the 1500s, the massive and dangerous Diamond Shoals off the coast of the Outer Banks were already causing hundreds of shipwrecks a year, and an easier route was needed for both the safety of the ships regularly coming to ports along the East Coast, and to accommodate smaller vessels. As early as the years following the American Revolution, plans were in the works to create a water connection between the villages and towns along northeaster North Carolina and Virginia, and in 1805, work began on digging and creating the Dismal Swamp canal, the older portion of the Intracoastal Waterway which runs through northern North Carolina and the Great Dismal Swamp. Completed in 1829, the canal was certainly a shortcut for many mariners, but unfortunately did not accommodate large vessels. A second, parallel canal, the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, was completed in 1859 to provide a wider route. In the decades that followed, the US Army Corps of Engineers planned out various ways to create an effective trade route from Boston, MA to Beaufort, NC, and eventually submitted a proposal to the US Government to purchase certain stretches of land and marshlands, including the two 1800s canals, to create this extensive waterway. Congress agreed, and in 1913, work began on building the official "Inland Waterway from Norfolk, VA to Beaufort Inlet, NC." Most of the 120 mile stretch of waterway relied on the calmer sound waters of the Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds, however new routes had to be cut through Cedar Island, Hyde and Tyrell Counties to avoid shallow or treacherous portions, and to create an easier-to-travel waterway. The US Army Corps of Engineers also made improvements to the existing Dismal Swamp canal, making it wider and removing excess trees and decries that had grown up along the waterway in the past hundred years. The Inland Waterway was complete by 1932, and by that point, the US Government was hard at work creating other watery routes to combine and create the entire Intracoastal Waterway. While large cargo ships and some sailors still prefer to stick to the Atlantic Ocean coastline, the waterway effectively opened up a new route to smaller traders and shipping businesses, commercial fishermen, and recreational mariners, and is still enjoyed today as one of the most unique and scenic ways to take a "road trip" along the Carolina coastline. Visiting the Intracoastal Waterway Most visitors to the Outer Banks will only notice the Intracoastal Waterway via the road signs and bridges that are located en route to the Outer Banks. Traveling from the north, visitors will cross over the Intracoastal Waterway on a small bridge on US 158 in Currituck County, and will run parallel to the waterway for the length of their trip down the mainland to the Wright Memorial Bridge to the Outer Banks. Travelers from the western part of the state will have a much longer Intracoastal Waterway crossing at the nearly 5 mile Alligator River Bridge which stretches across East Lake, one of the wider portions of the Intracoastal Waterway. This bridge doubles as a draw bridge to accommodate larger vessels passing through along the waterway, and it's not unusual on a bright and sunny day for traffic to pause while the bridge opens and allows mariners cruising along the Intracoastal Waterway to pass through. When this happens, it presents a perfect opportunity to step out of the vehicle for a few minutes, enjoy a nice stretch and a little salt air, and take a good look around at the gorgeous waterway views. Visitors from the south who head to the Outer Banks along the mainland via US 17 and US 264 will cross the waterway multiple times, through big and small bridges along Cedar Island and Hyde County. Regardless of which way you travel, however, keep a lookout for these sections of the Inner Banks where the roads cross paths with the Intracoastal Waterway. Often, a spectacular view can be found nearby in addition to some charming waterfront restaurants and marinas, and these intersections are almost always a nice spot to take a break from the road and have an exploratory look around. If you want to explore the Intracoastal Waterway the way it was intended, by a skiff, boat, sailboat or even a kayak, there are plenty of marinas located throughout the Inner Banks that are happy to serve as launching grounds into the open waterway canals. Look for larger marinas and boat launches in bigger communities like Elizabeth City or Beaufort, or simply head to the small towns bordering the Intracoastal Waterway for quiet public launches directly into the water. In Dare County, the small town of East Lake has several private and public boat launches, and in Currituck Country, mariners will find a number of marinas and boat launches in Currituck close to Coinjock Bay. You can also simply travel along US 158 through the length of Currituck County and take your pick of a number of Albemarle Sound facing beaches and boat launches that lead mariners directly to the large sound portions of the Intracoastal Waterway route. Essentially, any boater who cruises the Carolina Coastline along the Inner Banks will eventually come across multiple launching points, so all a boater has to do to get on board is to find a stretch they want to explore, load up the boat trailer, and start cruising. Towns and Attractions Around the Intracoastal Waterway While cruising through the Outer and Inner Banks sections of the Intracoastal Waterway, mariners will find plenty of towns and attractions that are worth a stop and a little exploration. The towns along the Currituck County Mainland, specifically Currituck, Barco, Jarvisburg, Point Harbor ad Poplar Branch, are all unique mainland tourist destinations with locally acclaimed barbecue joints, fresh farmers' markets and vegetable stands, and a wide range of marinas and golf courses to explore For an overnight expedition of the outlying Outer Banks area, this northern region of North Carolina's Intracoastal Waterway is definitely worth a dock. Further south past Dare County's East Lake, mariners will travel along the borders of a number of reserves and refuges, including the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, the Emily and Richardson Preyer Buckridge Coastal Reserve, and Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge. Though any of these natural retreats are worth a look around, featuring wide areas of marshlands, maritime forests, and acres of rugged hunting and fishing grounds, perhaps the most popular of these three reserves is the area surrounding Lake Mattamuskeet. A popular spot for birders and fishermen alike, in the fall and winter months, Mattamuskeet becomes alive with thousands of migrating tundra swan who fill the lakes and marshes within the refuge and create a chorus of squawking and splashing that can be heard virtually anywhere within the park. An incredible site, on some days the entire lake literally looks like it's covered in snow as thousands of these impressively large white birds play in the water, paying no mind to the occasional human visitor. Perhaps the most popular attraction along the Inner Banks, however, is the small town of Beaufort. Notorious for its reputation as a 1700s pirate haven, particularly for the Carolinas' most famous pirate Blackbeard himself, Beaufort is an inviting mix of small town coastal charm and vacation destination, with dozens of shops, restaurants, and historical attractions located right along the waterfront, including a North Carolina aquarium and a seashell museum. In addition to these main attractions, mariners will also find a host of small restaurants and cafes with boat docks designed with Intracoastal Waterway travelers in mind, plenty of marinas and ship's stores to refuel on supplies and local maritime souvenirs, and miles of gorgeous waterway that is quiet, undeveloped, and miles away from the busy mainland towns located away from the water. The best way to find all these secret attractions and incredible views is to simply take out the boat and cruise, and mariners will be treated to incredible wildlife, fantastic waterfront sunsets, and charming coastal small towns as a reward for their Intracoastal Waterway travels. Tips and Tricks for Traveling the Intracoastal Waterway Remember that you don't have to explore the entire length of the North Carolina waterway to have an enjoyable day on the water. Many locals and visitors, especially avid fishermen, stick to day trips around certain wider regions of the waterway for a scenic cruise, or some fantastic saltwater angling. Boat docks and launches along East Lake and the soundside communities along Currituck County are good places to start exploring, and the open waters of the Albemarle Sound are a fishermen's dream with a number of seasonal saltwater fish, like bass, flounder, blues, mullets and sheapshead, reeled in on a regular basis. If you run into trouble while en route, don't panic. The US Coast Guard has several stations set up along the route, including a major station in Elizabeth City, and several private boat towing companies like Boat US and Sea Tow are happy to service all areas of the Intracoastal Waterway for mariners who need a hand. Keep the local towing company numbers handy, and plan to travel on days with good weather and light winds, and you'll surely enjoy an Intracoastal Waterway exploration that's smooth sailing. Want to extend your coastal North Carolina travels? The Intracoastal Waterway runs all the way through the state, bordering the scenic regions of Wilmington and the Cape Fear Rivers before heading to South Carolina. Turn your weekend cruise into a full-fledged sailing adventure and continue past the Outer Banks to discover the entirety of the NC coastline. Want to explore the Intracoastal Waterway but don't have a boat? The waterfront restaurants located along the waterway are happy to welcome patrons with wheels instead of rudders, and there are a number of public parking areas available along the waterway for explorers who simply want to fish from the banks, or enjoy the view. In addition, the Outer Banks and Inner Banks have a number of watersports companies who can provide patrons with kayak rentals to explore the sound, or even fully-guided boat tours of the region. Look for local businesses that are close to where you're staying in the Outer Banks, and set off on your own waterfront adventure that will surely be a highlight of your vacation. The Intracoastal Waterway began as an economical and safe route for businesses and shipping companies, but today it is equally appreciated by the thousands of annual visitors who take to the Outer and Inner Banks by boat. Whether your preferred method of travel is sailing, cruising, or even paddling, the 120 mile stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway that lies next to the Outer Banks is a scenic introduction to the coastal North Carolina landscape and lifestyle. Plan a long weekend on the water exploring the entire length, or simply keep an eye out for those tell-tale road signs en route to your beach vacation. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, the Intracoastal Waterway is a fascinating way to explore the various, scenic aspects of the Outer Banks and Inner Banks life on the water. Coinjock Marina: Located conveniently on the Intracoastal Waterway at Mile Marker 50, the Coinjock Marina has been a longtime favorite for transient yachtsmen traveling north and south along the waterway.

Located in Corolla Village, Currituck Lighthouse, Whalehead Mansion, Currituck Beach, Currituck Sound, Bike Paths, coffee shop, beer garden, salon, surfing, bodyboarding, biking & Stand-Up Paddle , barbecue shack, pizzeria, horse tours. You’ll love my place because of privacy, 2 block walking distance to the Atlantic Ocean & the Currituck Sound. 3rd floor apartment is in the Carolina pines. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, families (w/ up to 2 kids), dogs. (no cats). Non-smoking.

This is a small private 2 bedroom apartment perfect for a couple and/or family w two children. If you check the photos in the listing, you should get a feel for the apartment. The 1st bedroom has a double bed. The 2nd bedroom has a set of bunk beds, futon, and cable TV. So we are fine with dogs so long as you clean up after them. The kitchen is well supplied with pots, pans utensils, coffee, cream, sugar, dishes, etc..but there is no stove or dishwasher. There is, however, a coffee maker, toaster, microwave, standard size fridge, hot plate, and all cooking utensils. There is a dining room table in the kitchen. A private stairway will take you up to the 3rd floor. There is no living room. If you let us know ahead of time, we can hook you with bikes. If you have an infant/toddler, please note, the apartment is on the 3rd floor and the only access is a staircase. I recommend bringing a 'baby gate' for safety. We have not "baby proofed" the apartment. We are more than glad to do a load of laundry for you. Just give us a heads up and we will give you a laundry basket to fill up.

We are located in Old Corolla Village. This is the Historic District of Corolla. The Currituck Lighthouse is one block over from the Treehouse. You can walk or ride bikes to the Whalehead Mansion. (You will see some the best sunsets). Plus there is a boardwalk that lets you walk out on the Currituck Sound. We live on the west side of Route 12 on Carotank Road about 2 blocks off the ocean. Unlike most of Corolla (which is made up of vacation rental homes), everyone on West Carotank Road is permanent residents. The Beer Garden is 1 block north. The ocean is just 2 blocks east for us. ( We have beach chairs, beach towels, and an umbrella you can use). That's just one less thing you have to haul down to the beach. There is a community walkway over the dune to the beach. 2 miles north you will find a ramp to the beach that will give you 4 wheel drive access. During the summertime, the sand is soft, so you will need to let your air pressure down to 15 psi. We have a compressor, so you can refill your tires once you get back onto the road. Fishing: You can fish both on the ocean and the Currituck Sound. You will just need to get a fishing license through NC Wildlife. ( You can do this online). Laurie has typed up a list of restaurants. PSA: remember to stop at all pedestrian walkways if someone is crossing Route 12. Update: We now have a brand new miniature golf course just 2 blocks away. And One block away, Currituck County just finished a handicap access ramp w/ handicap parking.

Our little shell Shack has a lot of family meaning to the Stuart family. It was very much a steppingstone for anyone that used it through the years. The Shell Shack was purchased in 1977 by Meme and pop pop Chilton....A hard-working family with a well-known radiator business from Suffolk Virginia! Along with their three children, they purchased the “Shell shack” to use as their weekend destination to get away from the city. They choose Bells Island North Carolina for the destination due to a popular Campground that still exists and is still used very regularly every weekend throughout the summer! Being located right on the Intercoastal waterway brings lots of water activity - boating, water-skiing, jet skiing, and lots of nearby island beaches navigable by boat. One highlight is the 20 min boat trip across the sound to Corova, “The four wheel area of the OBX!” Many families are just passing through the area on their way to the Outer Banks and enjoying some sound life for a few days, some family’s are regular weekend tenets from nearby areas such as Hertford, Gates County, Suffolk, Chesapeake or Virginia Beach. Most just trying to escape to a simpler way of life! Currituck Waters have been well known in the past for their bass fishing, crabbing, and waterfowl hunting. Bells island is a 25 minute boat trip to the Outer Banks beaches, a 10 minute boat ride to Coinjock Marina to fuel up your boat, grab a quick meal or nice cocktail while sitting on the deck admiring the active Intercoastal Waterway! You may notice most of the Stuart family are neighbors to the shell shack! During the crabbing season you will see their trucks and boats coming and going from the docks across the street with their fresh catches of seafood daily. The family spent most of the days on the commercial fishing boat with their owners but you may see them sometimes greeting the new neighbors around the neighborhood. They and their K9's are friendly, wanting to say hello to the new neighbors of the shell shack!!

Bells Island is one of two populated "island" communities that are found in the Currituck Sound. Small but easy to access and explore, the island is a good side-trip for visitors who want to uncover every corner of Currituck County. About the Area Bells Island is located in the town of Currituck and is easy to access from US 168 via Bells Island Road. It takes just 7-8 minutes and 3.5 miles of driving to cover the length of the island from the Currituck mainland, making it an easy off-the-beaten path destination. The island was originally home to a remote community that was sustained by individual farming, hunting and fishing. Today, while hunting and fishing are still recreational past-times, the community is popular with Chesapeake area communities and other full-time residents. There are about 75-100 residences on Bells Island, but no grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants or other amenities. (This is not a huge inconvenience considering that the center of Currituck is literally about 3-4 miles away.) Many of the properties are soundfront or Canalfront, with easy access to the Currituck Sound. Bells Island Campground - enjoy all campground amenities complimentary when staying at the Shell Shack! The big (and only) attraction on the island is the Bells Island campground. Located at the very southern tip of the island, the campground is a popular destination for Currituck County visitors who want to be close to the water in a secluded, and relatively quiet community. Here's a quick overview of Bells Island Campground highlights, features and facts: The campground is situated on approximately 22 acres of land that is adjacent to the Currituck Sound. Bells Island is one of the oldest campgrounds in Currituck County and first opened to visitors in 1963. The campground is located 5 minutes away from the Knotts Island ferry, and is a 20 minute boat ride away from the beach community of Corolla. It's also a 45 minute drive away from the Outer Banks beaches. Area restaurants within a 10-minute drive include the Pass the Salt Cafe, McDonalds, Currituck BBQ Company, and the roadside Morris Farm Market for fresh produce. Bells Island Campground features 39 full hook-up RV sites, 24 RV sites with water and electricity, and a separated collection of 26 tent areas. Campground amenities at Bells Island include a dump station, restrooms, and shower facilities for campers. Community amenities include tennis courts, horseshoe pits, basketball and volleyball areas, and a boat ramp and fishing pier. Popular activities in the campground include fishing, crabbing, boating, swimming, sailing, and jet skiing. Pets are allowed but must be leased at all times.

Whether you’re driving, boating, or perhaps even piloting your own helicopter, Coinjock Marina will take care of you and treat you like family. Coinjock is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Currituck County, North Carolina, United States. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 335. It is located on U.S. Route 158 between Barco and Grandy, about 20 miles (32 km) south of the Virginia state line, and is at mile marker 50 on the Intracoastal Waterway. Church's Island to the east of Coinjock in the Currituck Sound has a village called Waterlily, which uses the postal address of Coinjock as well. The island's name is due to a decayed church that was once a landmark of the tiny community. Coinjock is bordered by Currituck Sound to the east; the North River lies to the west. Residents suggest the name Coinjock is of Native American origin referring to mulberries, which might have been prevalent in the area many years ago. There are no mulberry trees there now. The name has also been spelled "Coenjock", "Cowenjock", or "Cornjack", and sometimes as two words with the second beginning with a capital J. Bishop Thomas Coke visited Coenjock, as he called it, and preached to a small congregation in its chapel on March 19, 1785. The Coinjock Colored School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

It is located on U.S. Route 158 between Barco and Grandy, about 20 miles (32 km) south of the Virginia state line, and is at mile marker 50 on the Intracoastal Waterway. Church's Island to the east of Coinjock in the Currituck Sound has a village called Waterlily, which uses the postal address of Coinjock as well. The island's name is due to a decayed church that was once a landmark of the tiny community. Coinjock is bordered by Currituck Sound to the east; the North River lies to the west. Residents suggest the name Coinjock is of Native American origin referring to mulberries, which might have been prevalent in the area many years ago. There are no mulberry trees there now. The name has also been spelled "Coenjock", "Cowenjock", or "Cornjack", and sometimes as two words with the second beginning with a capital J. Bishop Thomas Coke visited Coenjock, as he called it, and preached to a small congregation in its chapel on March 19, 1785. The Coinjock Colored School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

Visitors to coastal North Carolina will most likely cross the Intracoastal Waterway during some portion of their expedition, and there's a good chance that they'll cross this massive water route multiple times. Extending all the way from the northern region of the country to the Gulf Coast, the waterway, which began as an essential trade route for shipping companies, is now more commonly used as a recreational trail for North Carolina sailors and boaters who want to explore the depth of the East Coast without straying too far from the Atlantic beaches. The Outer Banks runs parallel to the waterway, and visitors who venture inland to explore the small towns of the Inner Banks will come in contact with the waterway on a regular basis. Lined with shops, marinas, and waterfront restaurants, and busy on warm summer days with maritime traffic in the middle of a 3,000 mile trip, or just local boaters out for an afternoon cruise, the Intracoastal Waterway is a unique portion of the Outer Banks region, and definitely worth a visit for maritime lovers of all varieties. Geography of the Intracoastal Waterway Nationally, the Intracoastal Waterway extends 3,000 miles from the heart of New York to the Gulf of Mexico facing beaches before trickling north, and is a significant portion of "America's Great Loop," an extensive waterway that literally loops from the East Coast to the Gulf of Mexico and then winds back up through the central states before hitting the Great Lakes region. Obviously, a cruise along the entirety of this waterway, which basically circles around half of the country, is an adventure best left to travelers with a few months on their hands and a love of cross-country travel. Locally, North Carolina visitors who aren't on board for a 3,000 mile trip will find plenty of scenic portions of the Intracoastal Waterway that run through the state, often along the Outer and Inner Banks' backyards. Along the Outer Banks, the waterway begins in northern Currituck County where it trickles south in two distinct routes: one that winds through the Great Dismal Swamp near Edenton and Elizabeth City and one route that is much wider and borders mainland Currituck County. These two routes combine in the Albemarle Sound, and for 20 or so miles, the Intracoastal Waterway turns into a wide-open parcel of soundfront until it connects to East Lake on the western edge of Dare County. From there, the waterway narrows significantly as it cuts through the mainland across Columbia and skirts past Tyrell County and the Lake Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge. The Intracoastal Waterway widens again as it joins with the open waters of the Pamlico Sound in Hyde County, and continues to hug the mainland coastline bordering the sound until it reaches Cedar Island, where it cuts across a marshy waterway into Beaufort and continues south down the coastline. During the Intracoastal Waterway's route through the northern half of North Carolina, the waterway is always about 10-50 miles away from the Outer Banks. The route itself is incredibly diverse through all portions, sometimes consisting of a sail through miles of open sound water, and sometimes consisting of narrow waterways that are bordered by marshes, swamps or thick patches of dense forest. Essentially, mariners who travel just this small portion of Intracoastal Waterway, located parallel to the Outer Banks, will an enjoy a cross section of what the route in its 3,000 mile entirety is all about. With scenic views all around, and charming marinas, restaurants and shops located through the passage for the convenience of mariners, a simple trip exploring this Inner Banks region of the Intracoastal Waterway will certainly feel like an enjoyable, worldly adventure. History of the Intracoastal Waterway Even though the Intracoastal Waterway is relatively new by world history standards, being officially developed in the 1800s, the history of transporting goods along the Inner Banks is as old as the country itself. Beginning with the settlements along the Albemarle region and the Jamestown colony in Virginia, it soon became crystal clear that traders and shipping vessels needs an easier way to access multiple parts of the country that did not entail a long trip through the Atlantic Ocean. After all, as early as the 1500s, the massive and dangerous Diamond Shoals off the coast of the Outer Banks were already causing hundreds of shipwrecks a year, and an easier route was needed for both the safety of the ships regularly coming to ports along the East Coast, and to accommodate smaller vessels. As early as the years following the American Revolution, plans were in the works to create a water connection between the villages and towns along northeaster North Carolina and Virginia, and in 1805, work began on digging and creating the Dismal Swamp canal, the older portion of the Intracoastal Waterway which runs through northern North Carolina and the Great Dismal Swamp. Completed in 1829, the canal was certainly a shortcut for many mariners, but unfortunately did not accommodate large vessels. A second, parallel canal, the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, was completed in 1859 to provide a wider route. In the decades that followed, the US Army Corps of Engineers planned out various ways to create an effective trade route from Boston, MA to Beaufort, NC, and eventually submitted a proposal to the US Government to purchase certain stretches of land and marshlands, including the two 1800s canals, to create this extensive waterway. Congress agreed, and in 1913, work began on building the official "Inland Waterway from Norfolk, VA to Beaufort Inlet, NC." Most of the 120 mile stretch of waterway relied on the calmer sound waters of the Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds, however new routes had to be cut through Cedar Island, Hyde and Tyrell Counties to avoid shallow or treacherous portions, and to create an easier-to-travel waterway. The US Army Corps of Engineers also made improvements to the existing Dismal Swamp canal, making it wider and removing excess trees and decries that had grown up along the waterway in the past hundred years. The Inland Waterway was complete by 1932, and by that point, the US Government was hard at work creating other watery routes to combine and create the entire Intracoastal Waterway. While large cargo ships and some sailors still prefer to stick to the Atlantic Ocean coastline, the waterway effectively opened up a new route to smaller traders and shipping businesses, commercial fishermen, and recreational mariners, and is still enjoyed today as one of the most unique and scenic ways to take a "road trip" along the Carolina coastline. Visiting the Intracoastal Waterway Most visitors to the Outer Banks will only notice the Intracoastal Waterway via the road signs and bridges that are located en route to the Outer Banks. Traveling from the north, visitors will cross over the Intracoastal Waterway on a small bridge on US 158 in Currituck County, and will run parallel to the waterway for the length of their trip down the mainland to the Wright Memorial Bridge to the Outer Banks. Travelers from the western part of the state will have a much longer Intracoastal Waterway crossing at the nearly 5 mile Alligator River Bridge which stretches across East Lake, one of the wider portions of the Intracoastal Waterway. This bridge doubles as a draw bridge to accommodate larger vessels passing through along the waterway, and it's not unusual on a bright and sunny day for traffic to pause while the bridge opens and allows mariners cruising along the Intracoastal Waterway to pass through. When this happens, it presents a perfect opportunity to step out of the vehicle for a few minutes, enjoy a nice stretch and a little salt air, and take a good look around at the gorgeous waterway views. Visitors from the south who head to the Outer Banks along the mainland via US 17 and US 264 will cross the waterway multiple times, through big and small bridges along Cedar Island and Hyde County. Regardless of which way you travel, however, keep a lookout for these sections of the Inner Banks where the roads cross paths with the Intracoastal Waterway. Often, a spectacular view can be found nearby in addition to some charming waterfront restaurants and marinas, and these intersections are almost always a nice spot to take a break from the road and have an exploratory look around. If you want to explore the Intracoastal Waterway the way it was intended, by a skiff, boat, sailboat or even a kayak, there are plenty of marinas located throughout the Inner Banks that are happy to serve as launching grounds into the open waterway canals. Look for larger marinas and boat launches in bigger communities like Elizabeth City or Beaufort, or simply head to the small towns bordering the Intracoastal Waterway for quiet public launches directly into the water. In Dare County, the small town of East Lake has several private and public boat launches, and in Currituck Country, mariners will find a number of marinas and boat launches in Currituck close to Coinjock Bay. You can also simply travel along US 158 through the length of Currituck County and take your pick of a number of Albemarle Sound facing beaches and boat launches that lead mariners directly to the large sound portions of the Intracoastal Waterway route. Essentially, any boater who cruises the Carolina Coastline along the Inner Banks will eventually come across multiple launching points, so all a boater has to do to get on board is to find a stretch they want to explore, load up the boat trailer, and start cruising. Towns and Attractions Around the Intracoastal Waterway While cruising through the Outer and Inner Banks sections of the Intracoastal Waterway, mariners will find plenty of towns and attractions that are worth a stop and a little exploration. The towns along the Currituck County Mainland, specifically Currituck, Barco, Jarvisburg, Point Harbor ad Poplar Branch, are all unique mainland tourist destinations with locally acclaimed barbecue joints, fresh farmers' markets and vegetable stands, and a wide range of marinas and golf courses to explore For an overnight expedition of the outlying Outer Banks area, this northern region of North Carolina's Intracoastal Waterway is definitely worth a dock. Further south past Dare County's East Lake, mariners will travel along the borders of a number of reserves and refuges, including the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, the Emily and Richardson Preyer Buckridge Coastal Reserve, and Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge. Though any of these natural retreats are worth a look around, featuring wide areas of marshlands, maritime forests, and acres of rugged hunting and fishing grounds, perhaps the most popular of these three reserves is the area surrounding Lake Mattamuskeet. A popular spot for birders and fishermen alike, in the fall and winter months, Mattamuskeet becomes alive with thousands of migrating tundra swan who fill the lakes and marshes within the refuge and create a chorus of squawking and splashing that can be heard virtually anywhere within the park. An incredible site, on some days the entire lake literally looks like it's covered in snow as thousands of these impressively large white birds play in the water, paying no mind to the occasional human visitor. Perhaps the most popular attraction along the Inner Banks, however, is the small town of Beaufort. Notorious for its reputation as a 1700s pirate haven, particularly for the Carolinas' most famous pirate Blackbeard himself, Beaufort is an inviting mix of small town coastal charm and vacation destination, with dozens of shops, restaurants, and historical attractions located right along the waterfront, including a North Carolina aquarium and a seashell museum. In addition to these main attractions, mariners will also find a host of small restaurants and cafes with boat docks designed with Intracoastal Waterway travelers in mind, plenty of marinas and ship's stores to refuel on supplies and local maritime souvenirs, and miles of gorgeous waterway that is quiet, undeveloped, and miles away from the busy mainland towns located away from the water. The best way to find all these secret attractions and incredible views is to simply take out the boat and cruise, and mariners will be treated to incredible wildlife, fantastic waterfront sunsets, and charming coastal small towns as a reward for their Intracoastal Waterway travels. Tips and Tricks for Traveling the Intracoastal Waterway Remember that you don't have to explore the entire length of the North Carolina waterway to have an enjoyable day on the water. Many locals and visitors, especially avid fishermen, stick to day trips around certain wider regions of the waterway for a scenic cruise, or some fantastic saltwater angling. Boat docks and launches along East Lake and the soundside communities along Currituck County are good places to start exploring, and the open waters of the Albemarle Sound are a fishermen's dream with a number of seasonal saltwater fish, like bass, flounder, blues, mullets and sheapshead, reeled in on a regular basis. If you run into trouble while en route, don't panic. The US Coast Guard has several stations set up along the route, including a major station in Elizabeth City, and several private boat towing companies like Boat US and Sea Tow are happy to service all areas of the Intracoastal Waterway for mariners who need a hand. Keep the local towing company numbers handy, and plan to travel on days with good weather and light winds, and you'll surely enjoy an Intracoastal Waterway exploration that's smooth sailing.
