Bonner Bridge is one of North Carolina's most well known man-made structures of it's kind (The Linn Cove Viaduct on the Blue Ridge Parkway is probably the most well known). This location makes for a great getaway at the Outerbanks to spend an entire day (and night). The location is popular for fishing and is ideal for landscape and astro photography. You can have lots of fun on some of the dunes, although getting the sand out afterwards is a big hassle.

This is one of my favorite images from this location. I love the warm light tones and the shadows that create a contrast in the foreground sand. It is created from a single exposure with only minor modifications made to adjust overall contrast and brightness.

If you are interested in wildlife, the Pea Island Wildlife Refuge is nearby and is a very popular location.

Thank you for stopping by.

Top Coastal North Carolina Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Wilmington, NC

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and the barista even went and made me a drink at Starbucks even after they closed. 5 stars (yes they have a Starbucks in lobby but it closes at 1pm just so you know) "

Best Western Plus Coastline Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived at 4 and was promptly checked in by the most pleasant and professional personnel. The room was a little “dated” but clean and totally comfortable for our needs. Renovations looked to have been rather recent. But the room was very clean. The view to the river was nice as well. We slept in and missed the breakfast but it’s nice to know it was available if needed. Great stay at what I felt was a very fair price for both BW as vendor and myself as a customer. 9/10. Would and have recommended this exact location to friends, family, and business associates. The room isn’t going to be on any episodes of exotic hotels. But for a place to unpack, shower, and sleep it was perfect. "
