Atlantic Beach is the oldest of five small towns on Bogue Banks. It was orginally the site of the perpetually popular Atlantic Beach Circle. Today Atlantic Beach is home to about 3,600 year -round residents, although the population swells to a whopping 35,000 during the summer months. Atlantic Beach is a mixture of old-fashioned beach cottages, moderate vacation homes and modern condominiums. Major changes are in the works for the Circle area. A developer plans to construct high-rise condos, retail shops, restaurants, lodging and many upscale improvements. While the landscapes have changed Atlantic Beach still offers numerous public beach accesses, seaside shopping, dining, fishing tournaments like the Atlantic Beach King Mackerel Tournament and annual festivals such as the Carolina Kite Festival, and the most beautiful sandy beaches as far as the eye can see.
