Radio Island
Visitors cruising along US Highway 70 in between the towns of Morehead City and Beaufort will briefly travel over a small parcel of land that makes a momentary appearance in between the two on-the-water bridges. This small slip of terrain is known as Radio Island, and it’s certainly more than meets the eye.
Home to a yacht club, several marinas, a scenic beach, a fishing pier, and multiple boat or kayak launching areas, Radio Island offers visitors a surprisingly large number of things to do while being relatively “close to home” for Morehead City or Beaufort vacationers and locals. Definitely worth a second look, Radio Island is a unique component of the Crystal Coast landscape, and is worthy of exploration in more ways than one.
History of Radio Island
One of the first things Crystal Coast newcomers ask when they hear about this island’s existence is “Why is it called Radio Island?”
As it turns out, this unusual moniker wasn’t always this region’s namesake, and the area originated as the blander, but arguably more accurate, Inlet Island.
The then-Inlet Island was created in the 1930s as part of a larger plan to create a deeper shipping channel and also to build port facilities in Morehead City. Essentially, the island was created by dredging spoils from the formation of the channel, which were deposited on an existing marsh, creating a new parcel of solid land. The island was originally owned by the U.S. Navy, but after World War II, the territory was sold to private investors. In 1947, the investors decided to build a 280’ foot tower on Inlet Island to establish a new radio station – WMBL. It was at this time that Inlet Island became known instead as “Radio Island.”
The new radio station was a big deal to locals, as it was the first radio station in Carteret County, and was well known for its clear reception and surprisingly long range, thanks to the aforementioned tower.
The station remained in operation well after the “Golden Age of Radio” was over, and was eventually sold and moved in the late 1960s / early 1970s. Today, the iconic radio station is long gone with the exception of a small flag on Old Causeway Road that marks its former home, however, the island has enjoyed recent development in the form of the aptly named Radio Island Marina, and the relatively new Olde Town Yacht Club.
Today, while Radio Island hasn’t grown much more in its roughly 80 years of existence, the isle is still a popular destination for mariners, anglers, and any visitor who appreciates a quick waterfront that’s just barely off the beaten path.
Visiting Radio Island
Radio Island has a number of attractions for visitors who appreciate the great outdoors. Newcomers and explorers will want to swing by these Radio Island destinations that are locally known as fine spots for enjoying a full day of fun in the sun, or on the water.
Radio Island / Newport River Boat Launch
Radio Island is home to one of the largest public boat ramps and piers in the area, the Newport River Boat Ramp. This site is found almost directly off the main highway at 301 Highway 70, and takes up almost the entirety of the northwest corner of Radio Island. The expansive area features parking for 56 vehicles with trailers, public restrooms, and six boat launches that can accommodate vessels of varying sizes. From this site, visitors can directly reach the Newport River, as well as the Back Sound, the Bogue Sound, and other waters in and around the Crystal Coast region. In addition, the Newport River Boat Ramp has a 575’ ft. long fishing pier that extends into the heart of the river, and which is a popular destination for local anglers.
Radio Island Public Beach Access
Another enticing site on Radio Island is the public beach access which is located on the edge of the Bulkhead Channel, which borders the Bogue Sound. Located on the southern edge of the island, and managed by the Carteret County Parks and Recreation department, this destination is an almost secretive spot for some convenient fun in the sun.
The beach features nice and gentle waves that are ideal for young visitors, and which serve as fine grounds for fishing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and other sports that require calm and shallow waters. The beach is also nicely wide and sandy, and the site features parking, restrooms, seasonal showers, and handicapped accessible facilities via a long wooden boardwalk that leads directly to the sand. There are a set of rules for visiting the beach, (such as no fireworks, beach fires, or glass containers), which are stationed at the beach’s entrance. Slightly hidden, this beach access can be a little tricky to find for newcomers, but is a welcome destination for sunny days on the sand.
Old Town Yacht Club
This relatively new addition to the Crystal Coast landscape is becoming a popular destination for vacationers who want to enjoy a stay on the water. The complex features an array of condominiums which can be rented by area vacation rental companies, as well as beach access, a swimming pool and spa, a fitness center, a poolside pavilion with grills, and an on-site marina. Open to short and long term visitors alike – by boat or by land – this yacht club and marina has quickly become an enticing place to stay that’s seemingly in the middle of isolated Radio Island, but which is close to all the top attractions of Beaufort and Morehead City.
Tips and Tricks for Visiting Radio Island
- Radio Island is easy to reach, but visitors will want to pay attention to find the “exit” to this destination. Turn south on Marine Road in between the towns of Morehead City and Beaufort on US Highway 70 to access the heart of the island.
- The public beach access is located off of Olde Towne Yacht Club Drive, (not to be confused with the adjacent Olde Towne Yacht Club Road.) There are no convenience or beach stores nearby, so be sure and bring along everything required for a day at the beach.
- Accommodations on Radio Island, and specifically at the Olde Towne Yacht Club, are available through multiple property management companies in the area. Search for vacation rentals in Beaufort / Morehead City to find area condos.
- The public beach access is ideal for kayaking, but visitors will want to use caution when entering the Bulkhead Channel, which can attract vessels of all sizes. Stick close to the shore, and watch for windy days when the local currents can be deceptively swift.
Radio Island is a bit of a hidden gem destination along the Crystal Coast. Barely visible and seldom discovered by vacationers, the relatively “new” island is nonetheless a neat place to explore, or to enjoy a lazy afternoon on the sand. Found just off the main drag, and featuring a unique history that shaped an equally unique landscape, Radio Island is definitely worth a trip for any visitor who wants to fully discover the Crystal Coast.
Crystal Coast Lady Cruises
Crystal Coast Lady Cruises is a 100 ft. custom yacht that can effortlessly provide a number of family-friendly expeditions to vacationers who want to enjoy this delicate chain of barrier islands and coastal territory to its fullest. Based out of Beaufort, the Crystal Coast Lady is specifically built for the purpose of sightseeing and dolphin watching. Visitors can enjoy exploring the beautiful downtown beaufort are, plus unbeatable perspectives of the region’s vast array of wildlife, shorelines, and on-the-water views. The Crystal Coast Lady is equipped with a restroom onboard.

8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In
FoodfindsAsia.com | 8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In | Filipinos’ history as a maritime people date back to prehistoric times. In fact, the Philippines’ basic sociopolitical unit today, the barangay, traces its etymological origins to the balangay , the ancient outrigger boats that were used by precolonial Filipino communities to explore and conquer islands this side of the Pacific. As a people belonging to a seafaring culture, it’s no wonder that modern Filipinos are taking a retrospective look at their glorious past as Austronesian mariners and are developing a renewed love for the ocean and marinas as present-day yachtsmen.
Today, Philippine marinas look to accommodate more and more yachts and other pleasure watercrafts as the years go by. In 2017, an ASEAN Briefing op-ed piece named the Philippines as a country with high potential in yacht industry growth. The natural beauty of the Philippine islands and its fantastic bays, combined with a growing interest in leisurely sea travel, can explain the spike in yachting activities throughout the country.
Are you part of the demographic that’s become enamored of the yachting lifestyle? Do you want to know where in the country you can berth your watercraft? Leading sailboat and motorboat authority Europa Yachts is happy to enter the conversation, and recommends the following locations for discovering the Philippines through yachting. Here is a short list of clubs and marinas in the country, organized by island region.
Manila Yacht Club and Marina, Manila, Metro Manila
Established in 1927, the Manila Yacht Club and Marina is one of the oldest yacht clubs in all of Asia, and is nestled in the scenic Manila Bay. It is also near other well-known landmarks in the city, such as the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), the headquarters of the Philippine Navy, and the US Embassy. Facilities in the marina include a launching ramp and a fueling center, and the club itself is host to a restaurant and gorgeous function rooms. The Manila Yacht Club only welcomes visitors who arrive by boat, and it charges an initial security deposit of USD 750 upon arrival. Club membership is mandatory for medium and long-term mooring of boats.
Subic Bay Yacht Club, Zambales
The Subic Bay Yacht Club, which was founded in 1998, upholds itself as the country’s premier yacht club. It operates in the deepest bay in the country, and can host vessels well beyond 50 meters in length. Already benefitting from the innate beauty of the Zambales mountains surrounding it, the club hosts a number of other attractions, including its luxury accommodations, swimming pools, and its own movie theater, bowling alley, and nightclub. Those who venture outside of the club’s premises can also shop for well-priced imported goods at the Subic Freeport Zone, engage in water sports , or sign up for diving excursions.
Punta Fuego Yacht Club, Batangas
Peaceful Punta Fuego is a mecca for those who love the sport of sailing. As per its official website, the Punta Fuego Yacht Club aims to serve “a dynamic and vibrant community of boat enthusiasts and yacht owners.” This it does by playing host to a diverse population of watercrafts, from large catamarans and mono-hull yachts to small boats. Non-members of the club may use the berths for up to 3 weeks, and can refuel at the marina’s fueling station. The yacht club offers other amenities such as locker rooms, shower rooms, Internet facilities, a chart room, and a restaurant called Barracuda Bar, which serves delicious fares. Outside of the yachting crowd, Punta Fuego Yacht Club also caters to those wishing to celebrate weddings, conferences, and corporate events in their opulent quarters.
Puerto Galera Yacht Club, Oriental Mindoro
Further south, yachtsmen may moor at the Puerto Galera Yacht Club in Oriental Mindoro, an island location that’s home to tourist attractions like the Sabang Wreck dive site, lively beachfront resorts, and the Malasimbo Music Festival. Puerto Galera Yacht Club has been in operation for almost thirty years and lends services such as refueling provisions and yacht repairs from its marina. Boat owners also enjoy optimal convenience if mooring here, as they can also shop for spare parts in the nearby Batangas port.
Busuanga Yacht Club, Puerta del Sol Bay Marina, Palawan
Beautiful Palawan is a bucket-list destination for many, especially those who dream of cruising its crystalline waters. Accommodating the yachting community in this island province is the Busuanga Yacht Club, which promises secure mooring amidst breathtaking white-sand beaches. Here, each vessel will benefit from a typhoon-safe harbor, easy refueling, and direct access to transportation hubs like the New Busuanga Airport. Adjoining this marina is the Puerta del Sol Bay Resort, which offers luxurious accommodations to visitors. When not atop the deck of a boat, travelers can also explore the lagoons and freshwater lakes of Coron, go shipwreck diving, or relax in the hot springs of Maquinit.
Iloilo Sailing Club, Arevelo, Iloilo City, Iloilo
Iloilo Province is home to some of the country’s most beautiful old-world architecture, a flourishing ecotourism industry, and delectably fresh seafood cuisine. What will round off an unforgettable visit to Iloilo, however, is an excursion to the Iloilo Sailing Club on a leisure watercraft. The club accepts visitors and encourages membership in the case of medium and long-stay mooring. It also hosts a number of amenities and activities, including a dinghy storage, a beach bar and restaurant, and classes for those who want to learn about sailing. In recent months, the Iloilo Sailing Club has also been a convenient meet-up point for big maritime events, such as the Iloilo-Guimaras Paraw Regatta and the Seafarers’ Job Fair.
Cebu Yacht Club, Mactan Island, Cebu
The historic Mactan Island in Cebu was the site of Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan’s arrival in the Philippines. Now known as a commercial hub that hosts a prolific furniture and musical instruments industries, Mactan is also the location of the Cebu Yacht Club, an institution that is beloved by the locals. Aside from being an ideal spot to restock on much-needed fuel and supplies, the Cebu Yacht Club is also a trusted club to commission for boat repairs. There’s a good vibe in this club for everybody, as it sports both luxury accommodations and a waterfront strip of restaurants that laid-back diners can frequent. MINDANAO
Holiday Oceanview Marina, Samal Island, Davao del Norte
The Holiday Oceanview Marina is a major attraction of Samal Island in Davao del Norte Province, one that welcomes Filipino and foreign yachtsmen alike to moor within its premises. The space is quite roomy, in fact, with 56 berths that can fit vessels up to 15 meters in length. The club also has a boat ramp that can accommodate boats up to 18 meters in length. The well-guarded and weather-safe marina is a gateway to some of Mindanao’s finest attractions, such as the Pearl Farm, Hagimit Falls, and Giant Clam Sanctuary.
There’s no better way to discover the Philippines from end to end than getting onboard a seaworthy vessel and going on a long cruise, with stops in some of the most beautiful places in the country. Find a safe harbor in any of these major clubs and marinas, and participate in the renaissance of sailing in the Philippines.
