Tennis Tennis is another one of those not-so-well-known Crystal
Coast treasures. The Crystal Coast has really good places to play tennis,
just not many of them. As with golf, you can play tennis almost all year
round. Emerald Isle Parks and Recreation keeps a list of people who share
the love of tennis and are interested in getting together to play singles,
doubles and mixed games. Call (252) 354-6350 and let them help you find a
perfect match. (Some parks that aren't mentioned in this section have tennis
courts too. See the Parks section at the end of this chapter.) The
Country Club of the Crystal Coast This semi-private club features four beautifully
maintained clay courts along with a picturesque 18-hole golf course.
Members and non-members are welcome, and memberships are available. A
certified USTA pro is on hand, and group and private lessons can be
arranged. A game-matching service is also available.

Volleyball Beach volleyball is a classic beach event — and what
better way to get some exercise, have some fun and get a tan all at the
same time? Volleyball nets can be found at some of the parks in the
area as well as on the beach. Tournament nets are put out during the
season on the main beach in Atlantic Beach, formerly known as The
Circle. They are there for public use so join in on a game or just sit
by and watch the action. For details, call the Atlantic Beach Town Hall,
(252) 726-2121.
