Carteret County is right on the coast making it the eastern most county in Region 10. Its largest town is Morehead City, but Beaufort holds the title of county seat. Off the coast is a small barrier island system called Shackleford Banks, which is an island known for its herd of feral horses, scallop, crabs, and various sea animals. Shackleford Banks is a popular place to camp and set up for a beach day. On another island off the coast in Carteret, you can find the Cape Lookout Lighthouse, which is another tourist favorite. Carteret County Health Department is located on Bridges Street in Morehead City.
