NC EDGE Magazine - Issue No. 6

Featuring vertical coastal North Carolina photographs, from Bodie Island's banded lighthouse to Manteo's historic waterfront and windswept Outer Banks beaches. View interactive online magazine. Submit your photos for future issues.

Issue No. 6 of NC EDGE Magazine wanders the North Carolina coast from Bodie Island Lighthouse's banded tower rising over marsh-grass boardwalks to the small red-roofed lighthouse anchoring the Manteo waterfront, with a detour south to a distinctive diamond-patterned lighthouse glimpsed through the sea oats. Along the way, storm-lit fishing piers, foggy shorelines, sunrise dunes, and a ghost crab scuttling across the sand round out a collection of engagement portraits, senior sessions, and quiet coastal moments.
