Beach near Raleigh, United States

Raleigh Travel Guide

North Carolina, United States

Raleigh is a city of 451,066 people in North Carolina and the state capital. It sits inland in the eastern United States, rather than on the coast, so the city itself is not a beach destination.

Most visitors arrive through Raleigh-Durham International Airport, known as RDU. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Raleigh, so reaching the coast requires travelling beyond the immediate city area.
