| The vacation trails leading through North Carolina are as diverse as they are fascinating, from the natural wonders to the naturally wonderful people, visitors will find it is the place they just don't want to leave.
Saying North Carolina is diverse may be putting it mildly when you can stroll sandy beaches in the east and snow ski in the mountains to the west - all in the same state. And the treasures to be found in between offer a rich cultural heritage, abundant history, modern and exciting cities. Plus the 600 golf courses from the mountains to the coast provide varied terrain and challenges suitable for golfers of all skill levels.
The 300-plus miles of North Carolina coastline are dotted with picturesque lighthouses and a chain of barrier islands along the northern coast beckoning visitors to such familiar places as Kitty Hawk, Duck and Cape Hatteras; and along the southern coast you'll find the historic Cape Fear Coast, Crystal Coast and Brunswick Islands.
History abounds along the coast where ships sailed and colonies formed 300 years ago. In Wilmington, where the stage was set for much Civil War drama, today sets the stage for film and television drama. Famous faces and movie crews are often seen at work in this historic town.
For those fond of fairways, the state's 600-plus golf courses are spread across North Carolina. Pinehurst Resort and Country Club, often referred to as the birthplace of American golf, was chosen to host the 2005 U.S. Open. From enchanting mountain courses to ocean-view fairways, golf in North Carolina can be played year-round. |
