About Morehead City

A bustling, deep-water port and sportfishing hub, Morehead City encompasses Sugarloaf Island, the edges of Bogue Sound, and a highly active commercial waterfront. Visitors enjoy watching massive offshore sportfishing yachts unload their catches, strolling the waterfront boardwalks, and taking quick boat rides across the channel to Sugarloaf Island for quiet beach walks. The immense tidal currents ripping past the waterfront dictate all boating activity; charter captains and recreational boaters alike time their departures through the inlet to coincide with a slack tide for the safest and smoothest ocean access.
