Issue No. 4 of NC EDGE Magazine opens with a dancer captured mid-splash in the surf and closes with an Ocean Sunrise over Surf City, framing a mix of contributor photography and Instagram fan-favorite reposts voted on by our followers. Between the covers, readers travel from the pilings of Bogue Inlet Pier in Emerald Isle to a pre-dawn view of the Manteo waterfront, with a detour past the weathered, wave-battered house made famous by Nights in Rodanthe along the way.
