More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat eases away from the long wooden pier at Broad Creek Marina and the island tilts toward the sun. Marsh grass flicks and the wake threads shallow channels as you glide into Calibogue Sound; Harbour Town’s lighthouse slides into view, its red top catching the last light. Salt air and cooling breezes replace daytime heat, and dolphins often cut through the glassy water ahead, curious about the new presence.
