Rock Waves and Sand at Atlantic Beach North Carolina

Gentle waves washing up on the beach surround a lone boulder at Fort Macon State Park. Located on the island of Bogue Banks in the community of Atlantic Beach, NC, the park is one of the most popular state parks in North Carolina. Here is seen one of the boulders of a small rock jetty emerging from the sand. Much of this jetty was covered by a recent sand replenishment project. One of two jetties located in the park, this scene is found at the swimming area.
