Short walk to the beach, a mile from the Oceanana Pier, Fort Macon & Amos Mosquito's Restaurant. Our places at Atlantic Beach are perfectly situated between the Atlantic Ocean on one side and beautiful Bogue Sound on the other. For boaters, the Triple S Marina is just across the street from which you can cross the sound to enjoy waterfront dining at award-winning restaurants in Morehead City or Be
aufort. From our cozy condos, it's just a few minutes by foot to the beach access where you can fish, dolphin-watch, sunbathe, boat or pitch an umbrella and read. One mile west down the beach is the Oceanana Pier, home of the Pier House restaurant where you can get a good, old-fashioned breakfast or lunch. Across the street from the pier is Amos Mosquito's, one of our favorite restaurants. Or try the Island Grille, a quaint, high-end surf-n-turf restaurant just another few minutes down the beach. Other walkable restaurants and bars include Tackle Box Tavern, Idle Hour Biergarten, The Crab's Claw, Pescara Wood Oven Kitchen and more, all less than 2 miles from The Roost. A mile east at the eastern tip of Bogue Banks you'll find historic Fort Macon State Park, a fun-to-explore Civil War fort built in 1826 with guided tours and cannon and musket demos. The North Carolina Aquarium is in Pine Knoll Shores, just 7 miles down the road. Morehead City and historic Beaufort, the third oldest town in NC, are across the bridge, with fantastic restaurants, waterfront bars, live music, and seasonal festivals.
