I am in need of an author who checks the surf regularly in Atlantic Beach, and would like to provide daily, or near daily surf reports. I really can’t pay much for this, so i know it is going to be hard to find someone willing to spend 10 to 15 minutes a day posting a report. But there is money to be made in this.

I have wanted to develop a rental by owner site for Emerald Isle, and the rest of the Crystal Coast for about a year now. Well a few weeks ago, I quit slacking and actually started programming in the evenings and weekends. And now I’m proud to say that there is a new Emerald Isle Rental by Owner site available for use by those seeking a rental property, and owners looking to list a property. While working on this project I received a lot of positive feedback from rental owners and other people seemed to think it was a good idea.

One of my favorite restaurants in Atlantic Beach is now a total loss after a fire on Christmas Eve morning. Atlantic Beach Police responded to a burglar alarm and discovered the building was on fire.

The Crystal Coast was blessed with an extremely mild day, considering it is December. But then again, that’s probably why I’m still here. There’s not too many places in North America where you can wear short sleeves outside at night, or in the early morning in mid-December.

Indian Beach – The new fire chief in Indian Beach is stirring up quite a commotion for only being appointed chief little more than a week. Apparently he retired from his last post right in the middle of an investigation regarding abuse of his power and allegations of improperly touching firefighters. The town had thirty applicants for the job and interviewed eight of those thirty. And their final choice was Bernie Becker who retired from Clearcreek, Ohio who retired from there in July during the investigation.

Yesterday Bogue Banks Water Corporation detected Total Coliform bacteria in the Emerald Isle water supply. The bacteria is generally not a health concern, but their presence can indicate other more harmful pathogens may be in the water. The Town Manager, Frank Rush issued the boil order until further written notice.

Okay, I’m in the holiday spirit and have decided to give those looking to book a week at the beach in an Emerald Isle oceanfront rental an early Christmas present! I’m not giving away a free week or anything that cool, but I did go ahead and do the hard part for you. I went shopping and found some good deals on rentals for this week.

The town of Emerald Isle had scheduled their Fifth Annual Holiday Parade for November 29th, but alas, the Crystal Coast weather reminded us just how much we are at the weather’s mercy. The parade was rained out. A major bummer for the Emerald Isle Business Association, the town, as well as the Crystal Coast visitors that planned to make it out.

An area of troubled beach in Emerald Isle known as the point is not so troubled anymore. The project to move Bogue Inlet has proved to be successful thus far. They moved the inlet further away from the western end of Emerald Isle and beach that had been washed away is now returning rapidly. For a long time the ramp at the end of Inlet Drive had been closed to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
