Boating and Camping: Hammocks Beach

The beautiful spring weather got us in the mood to get outside and camp.  We looked up State Parks and found wonderful
Hammocks Beach State Park.
Here is the Google Sat view
It is a fantastic place.
It is a barrier island right next to Bogue inlet.  There are strong tidal currents to be aware of.  There is only primitive camping.  Three of the 14 camp sites are boat in only.
From google maps sat view, it looked like #14 would be accessible with our skiff, so we reserved it.
The island has many sea grass shallows behind it and the water is very thin.  Most folks arrive on the island either on the ferry that stops in the middle of the island or by paddle craft.  There is about 1 mile between the mainland Park center and the island.
The boat-in sites are spectacular.  This is the most scenic campsite I have ever seen.  We had 2 days of peace a quiet, other than the wind in the live oaks.
Totally worth a the trip.




There are lots of great shell to be found.
