Emerald Isle
North Carolina
2021 RETREAT DATE:
Aug 14 - Aug 21

Emerald Isle greets Crystal Coast visitors at the western end of Bogue Banks, offering 12 miles of pristine shoreline and incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean and Bogue Inlet. With a focus on family fun, Emerald Isle is a haven for watersports, fishing (onshore, offshore and on the Bogue Inlet Pier), or simply sitting on the sand and enjoying the sound of the waves rolling in.  This small beach town rolls out the red carpet during a Little Pink retreat and highlights an incredibly giving community.

The financial environment of not having to pay for anything was a huge stress relief, and that is priceless.
