Cycling Event

Conceived in late spring 2021, the Tip2Tip idea was brought to fruition by the Selma Cyclapaths and the Tackle Box Tavern. Homer's Point Marina & Pub will continue as our host this year. We'll start and finish in Salter Path again.

It is a joint effort to bring exposure to the Bogue Banks area (also a part of the Crystal Coast) and help raise funds for MS research.

This is now a yearly cycling event based on Bogue Banks, anchored by facilities and resources to support a worthy cause.

The event is SAG supported by volunteers. SAG is available for pickup in case you run into physical or mechanical trouble. A wristband, obtained during check-in, is required for SAG support.

Culinary Scholarships

Crystal Coast Corks & Forks is dedicated to providing scholarship support for as many students at Carteret Community College as possible. The funds raised will enable a number of students to focus entirely on their education.

Bogue Banks

From the middle of the island you'll visit the Coast Guard Station west of Emerald Isle and then Ft. Macon on the east end of the island.

The 62 mile route will leave Salter Path and head to the west end of the island, then over the bridge to Hwy 24 (headed east). The route will proceed to Country Club Road in Morehead City, back past the Haystacks and return over the bridge to Atlantic Beach. You'll head towards Ft. Macon before returning to Salter Path.

For those that are not up to the task of the longer 50 mi route, you can reduce it to 25 miles by going east to Ft. Macon and back or heading west to the Emerald Isle Coast Guard Station and back.

Along these routes are numerous places to view local attractions or stop by a beach access point.
