Fort Macon State Park – Fisherman’s Path

The Fisherman’s Path at Fort Macon State Park, located on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast, offers a scenic and tranquil trail for visitors who want to enjoy both nature and history. This path can be accessed from the Elliott Coues Nature Trail, near the WWII guns. It leads directly to a beach area overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, where visitors can see the American flag flying above Fort Macon, adding a unique historical touch to the beach experience. Whether you’re fishing or simply enjoying the salty breeze, the Fisherman’s Path provides a peaceful escape into the park’s natural beauty.

Please note that swimming, surfing, wading, or boat launching is not allowed in this area.
