Coastal charm meets natural beauty and outdoor recreation

Car-centric area with limited public transit options
Transportation in the area surrounding Tar Landing Villas is primarily car-dependent, reflecting the coastal, somewhat rural nature of Atlantic Beach. While the complex's location offers easy access to local attractions and necessities by car, public transit options are limited.
For those needing to travel further afield, the nearest major public transportation hub is in Morehead City, about 5 miles away. This stop serves the Amtrak Thruway Connecting Service, providing a link to the broader rail network for longer-distance travel.
The area's relatively flat terrain and scenic coastal views can make for pleasant bike rides, although dedicated bike infrastructure is limited. For most daily needs and activities, residents typically rely on personal vehicles. The complex's location near major local roads facilitates easy access to nearby towns and attractions along the Crystal Coast.
While the area may not be ideal for those seeking extensive public transit options, it offers a tranquil coastal setting where the pace of life aligns with the ebb and flow of the tides, and most amenities are just a short drive away.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
