Joy Cove Goes to Fort Macon
The guys enjoyed a day of touring through Fort Macon while we were vacationing at Atlantic Beach.
A little bit about Fort Macon is a historic landmark. Located at the eastern end of Bogue Banks, one of a series of barrier islands along the North Carolina coast, the park is surrounded on three sides by water—the Atlantic Ocean, Beaufort Inlet and Bogue Sound. This area of undisturbed natural beauty is the perfect place to explore salt marshes and estuaries vital to the coastal ecosystem.
While at Fort Macon the guys watched a movie about the history of the fort, ventured through a life like exhibit of the ocean and how pollution effects it, and toured the fort where several rooms had historical facts about the fort and the soldiers.
This was a great adventure that all the guys enjoyed!
