Welcome to Atlantic Beach, NC. Populating Shackleford are wild horses, known as banker horses, which are believed to have originated from a Spanish shipwreck centuries ago. Beach accesses can be found any number of places throughout the Atlantic Beach. Most every access is complete with public parking, and many have bathhouses attached for visitors. One of the few boa.
Believed to be the descendants of Spanish Mustangs brought to the continent by conquistadors and trading vessels, these horses are a marvel of the world of wildlife, and unique to the region.
Pirate culture is celebrated to this day throughout the area, and many homes and storefronts unabashedly fly the Jolly Roger in their windows and on their flagpoles. Interim Chief named for Morehead City Police.
