CARTERET COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE | 3 VISITORS GUIDE “Naturally Yours, The Crystal Coast.” Amy Nelson Proudly introducing… America’s ‘Best National Park Beach’ Cape Lookout National Seashore wins 2016 contest America has spoken: The best National Park Beach in all the land is our own Cape Lookout National Seashore. In a recent online contest (USA Today/Best10 Readers’ Choice Awards), Cape Lookout National Seashore outdistanced 19 other finalists to claim the title. Perfect timing – 2016 is the 50-year anniversary of Cape Lookout becoming a National Park and the 100-year anniversary of the National Park Service. Cape Lookout National Seashore offers 56 miles of natural ocean shoreline – undisturbed, uninhabited, wild and pristine. The 169-foot tall Lighthouse, with white diamonds facing east and west…and black diamonds facing north and south, is the only one in America that indicates direction. It has stood as a sentinel and navigational aid since 1859. The structure has weathered more than 30 hurricanes…and an assault during the Civil War when Confederate forces tried to blow it up. The Cape Lookout Lighthouse signal light is visible for 19 miles out to sea. It appears to flash every 15 seconds as it revolves. It warns mariners to steer clear of Cape Lookout Shoals – the “Horrible Headland.” Carolyn Temple, Coastal Image Photography 4 | CARTERET COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE “Naturally Yours, The Crystal Coast.” Carteret County’s most scenic view is from the top of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse. During the warm-weather months, you can climb it – all 188 spiral steps – the equivalent of a 12-story building. If you need ventilation on the stairway, raise one of the windows. That’s the way they’ve always done it. It’s just a short walk from the ferry dock to the Lighthouse. Wes Daniels Dawn Hoffmann Wild horses inhabit Shackleford Banks at Cape Lookout National Seashore. They graze on grasses that grow on the island and drink from natural, fresh water holes. Most scientists believe the herd descends from the Spanish horses of Hispaniola that were brought here by colonists in the 1500s. Others may have swum ashore off sinking ships that were wrecked along the shoals.

Macon for the Confederacy. For more than a year, the Rebel soldiers would sing to the tune of “Dixie” – “If Lincoln wants to save his bacon, he’ll keep away from Old Fort Macon.” Then, on April 25, 1862, Union forces mounted their assault to retake the fort, firing from sea and sending in an infantry of more than 1,500 soldiers with heavy artillery from Hoop Pole Creek. Severely outnumbered, the Confederates surrendered the next day. The U.S. Congress gave the fort to the State of North Carolina to be used as a public park in 1934. However, Fort Macon was reactivated as a U.S. military post during World War II to deter German submarines known as U-boats from approaching the U.S. coastline. (The U-352 got too close.

  • The Crystal Coast: a Unique Geological Phenomenon Kate Jablonski Quantitative Studies in Rocks and Minerals Steve Teeter And
    The Crystal Coast 1 The Crystal Coast: A Unique Geological Phenomenon Kate Jablonski Quantitative Studies in Rocks and Minerals Steve Teeter and Sandie Brundin Thursday, July 15, 2010 The Crystal Coast 2 ABSTRACT By only its appearance, one can tell that the North Carolina coast is unique in many ways. It houses a variety and a multitude of barrier islands that fringe the coast and contain inlets between them. The composition of the beach is also rare with its brown shells, fossilized rocks, and fascinating characteristics. Estuaries make up a large part of the North Carolina coast with more than 2.2 million acres (Schoenbaum, 1982). With such amazing characteristics, the coast’s geological history is very interesting and enlightening. This research paper focuses on the parts of the North Carolina coastline that make it stand out as one of the most beautiful treasures in the world. The Crystal Coast 3 Distinctiveness is beginning to evolve into one of the most desired characteristics in the world. People want to obtain an original reputation through individuality. Businesses want to attract customers with new advertising ideas. As time passes, the desire to stand out from the crowd remains strong. People and businesses may try even harder to be noticeable as time passes. However, there is something that will always stand out as long as it exists: the North Carolina coast. With its rugged shape, varied beach composition, and large numbers of estuaries, the Crystal Coast stands out as one of the most unique geological locations in the United States. One characteristic that makes the coastline so unique is its multitude of barrier islands.

  • VA Hurricane History
    THE HURRICANE HISTORY OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN VIRGINIA Continuous weather records for the Hampton Roads Area of Virginia began on January 1, 1871 when the National Weather Service was established in downtown Norfolk. The recorded history of significant tropical storms that affected the area goes back much further. Prior to 1871, very early storms have been located in ship logs, newspaper accounts, history books, and countless other writings. The residents of coastal Virginia during Colonial times were very much aware of the weather. They were a people that lived near the water and largely derived their livelihood from the sea. To them, a tropical storm was indeed a noteworthy event. The excellent records left by some of Virginia’s early settlers and from official records of the National Weather Service are summarized below. Learning from the past will help us prepare for the future. SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES 1635 August 24 First historical reference to a major hurricane that could have affected the VA coast. 1667 September 6 It appears likely this hurricane caused the widening of the Lynnhaven River. The Bay rose 12 feet above normal and many people had to flee. 1693 October 29 From the Royal Society of London, There happened a most violent storm in VA which stopped the course of ancient channels and made some where there never were any. 1749 October 19 Tremendous hurricane. A sand spit of 800 acres was washed up and with the help of a hurricane in 1806 it became Willoughby Spit. The Bay rose 15 feet above normal. Historical records list the following tropical storms as causing significant damage in Virginia: September 1761; October 1761; September 1769; September 1775; October 1783; September 1785; July 1788.
