Masonboro Island and the adjacent coastal waters define this maritime landscape along the North Carolina shore. The map centers on the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, providing a detailed view of the barrier island dynamics and tidal waterways just north of Carolina Beach. On the landward side of the island, the sheltered waters of Myrtle Grove Sound and Dick Bay illustrate the complex estuarine environment typical of this region. The Carolina Beach Inlet serves as the primary passage between these protected sounds and the open sea, marking a critical point of exchange for local tides and vessel traffic.
