The Oceanana Pier is popular for fishing and scenic views, while Fort Macon State Park has 4 miles of hiking and biking trails, beaches, and tours of a restored fort.

Kids attend mainland schools, including Morehead City Primary, Morehead Elementary at Camp Glenn, Morehead City Middle, and West Carteret High, which receive high ratings. Most of Atlantic Beach lies in a Special Flood Hazard Area, so residents need to plan for flooding and hurricanes.
