Abstract:
Core Sound lies along the North Carolina coast near Beaufort. Although it is nearly twenty-eight miles in length, it is rarely more than three miles wide. The hustle and bustle of today's tourist industry has bypassed many of Core Sound's communities, such as Davis and Atlantic; thus they provide a glimpse into old-time coastal living. Boating through Core Sound can be dangerous as most of the sound's waterways are only a few feet deep.
