At Etheridge Point, a small sandy soundside beach is the perfect place to explore the calm waters of the sound. The sound is usually calmer and warmer than the ocean, and is a great place to play, swim, or just relax in the water.

Etheridge Point provides some of the most expansive views of the Outer Banks. From this location, you can see Jockey's Ridge, the Wright Brothers Monument, and Colington Island.

This beach is not lifeguarded. All pets must be on a leash for the safety of park wildlife and other visitors.
