This unique place on the coast of North Carolina has a fascinating backstory and a rich history that adds to its charm. It was owned by the US Navy and used during their World War II efforts alongside the port. It was originally called Inlet Island, but its name changed when a 280 foot radio tower was installed by private investors who bought the island in 1947. It supplied residents with their first ever radio station, providing music and memories for the local folks who grew up here in the 1950s and 60s. This spot remains a tucked-away treasure for residents and visitors, too.
