Attraction
Bird Island Reserve
The Bird Island Reserve has pristine sandy white beaches, high natural dunes and more than 1,200 acres of beautiful salt marsh and tidal creeks. A popular destination for boaters, beachcombers, and bicyclists, visitors are invited to enjoy this perfect sanctuary, visit the Kindred Spirit mailbox to leave a note or read those left by others. Learn about sand dune wildlife and experience the history and habitats of the beautiful coastal preserve, as long as they do not disturb the environment or organisms or interfere with research and educational activities.
This natural area is one of 10 sites that make up the North Carolina Coastal Reserve & National Estuarine Research Reserve.
