Local Events

Atlantic Beach is a quiet seaside town on the Crystal Coast, or the Southern Outer Banks. Peppertree Atlantic Beach is an ideal resort for a beach vacation as it's close to restaurants and shops, yet while on the property you'll feel as if the ocean is all yours. If you're feeling a little more adventurous, there are several nearby towns that are worth exploring.



Resort Activities
We have several exciting new activities for all ages, and will continue to add more family activities as the weather gets warmer. For the fitness-oriented owners, we will continue to offer our popular Water Aerobics and Yoga classes, and we are working on adding both kickboxing and abs classes. We are happy to offer swimming lesions for beginners this summer, so put on your water wings and get ready to get wet! For the young (and young at heart) that prefer shooting hoops to swimming, new basketball goals have been installed.
