Well upon entering I think both of us were kind of digging the interior of the diner. It’s like stepping back in time or something. I really felt like we were in the fifties once we got inside. And that’s pretty cool to me, it at least looked like the place had some real history. No doubt countless visitors to Atlantic Beach have stopped in the 4 Corners Diner.

Well we sat at the counter and explained we were just going to have coffee since we were killing time. After our first cup of coffee it dawned on my dad that he hadn’t eaten breakfast yet. I only ate a little sandwich earlier in the morning so we decided to give the $2.95 breakfast special a try. I mean how could you go wrong with one egg, choice of hash browns or grits, and toast for only $2.95.

I half expected it to be horrible due to the price. But thankfully it was actually very good. In fact I would have to say 4 Corners Diner has the best breakfast value of any Atlantic Beach restaurant choice. So I will be definitely be hitting this spot again the next time I’m in the area.

Thank you 4 Corners Diner for making a great breakfast at a great price. I know my dad and  enjoyed starting our morning in Atlantic Beach with a good breakfast under our belts.

The event helps raise money for the Buddy Peletier Surf Foundation. The foundation was started after world champion surfer Buddy Peletier passed away from cancer in 1995. The event has grown into one of the most popular and fun filled surfing events in the country.

The competition is limited to 24 surfers per division. If you need more information about the competition please contact the event director, Mike Holleman at 252-726-2314.

Come out to the Oceanana in Atlantic Beach and watch one of the best surf competitions around. I’ll try and get out there for some photos and a report as to how the event unfolds. There is no cost for spectators to sit on the beach and watch the action.

Champion surfers from all around the globe will be in attendance for the 10th anniversary. Be sure to arrive early, the competition will start at 7am on Saturday. So come out cheer the competitors on, learn about the Buddy Peletier Surf Foundation and their mission. Most of all just have a good time.

I also know it’s the dead of winter, and there is not many people checking the surf very often. But we can work SOMETHING out. There are a couple ways this Atlantic Beach surf report author could earn some money doing this.

1. We could place some Google ads on your posts and you keep the revenue generated from those ads.
2. You could go around the Atlantic Beach area and sell your own ads, then add them to your posts.

Either way, you could end up pulling in some extra spending money to buy that new surfboard you’ve been eyeing at AB surf shop. If you’re interested email me: jason@crystalcoastnews.com

Surf reports for our area, if written well can generate a lot of traffic. They’re also a vital service for the area. A lot of people are continuously searching for wave reports before they even make it to Atlantic Beach for their vacation.

It took 55 firefighters five hours to bring the blaze under control. Investigators say the fire looks suspicious. The SBI is now in charge of the case.

It doesn’t seem that long ago that the El Zarape in Emerald Isle caught fire. I can’t help but ask myself, “Are these guys burning their restaurants to collect insurance money or something?” I mean it strikes me as very odd that you own several restaurants and two of them catch on fire in a pretty close time span.

Anything is possible though, I guess. I imagine they have a few disgruntled employees and one of them may have done this. Either way its a bummer because when I’m in Atlantic Beach, I love to eat at El Zarape.

The one that just burned was my favorite too, because it overlooked the water and some fishing boats. I sure hope the owners are not guilty of any wrongdoing and that they re-open this restaurant in Atlantic Beach.
