Figure 8 Recreation

Figure Eight Island features tennis courts, boat ramps and miles of white sand beaches. This is a great place to enjoy surfing, kayaking, windsurfing, canoeing, kite flying, biking, shelling, bird watching, crabbing, walking, and of course just plain doing nothing at all. Leave your stress at the guardhouse!

Shopping, Restaurants, Golf Nearby

Although cars are permitted, traffic is not a factor here primarily due to the absence of commercial centers, hotels, condos, and shopping. Yet you’re only minutes from the mainland where you’ll find all the services, stores and amenities you need, not to mention a host of excellent restaurants, golf courses and attractions.

One of the places many visitors find is Porters Neck Yoga & Spa, a full service facility that is just minutes from Figure Eight Island. The Spa is owned by two sisters, Kersten and Monique Mueller, who are certified instructors in yoga and reflexology. The spa offers numerous massage options and believes in “a revolutionary concept of combining yoga, spa and life enhancing wellness products.”

Just some of the massage choices are Dosha Rubs (therapeutic massage practices, warm lava rocks and the healing use of herbs and essential oils), Hot Stone Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Therapeutic Swedish Massage, among others.

Several body treatments are offered too, including Mineral Mud and Seaweed Detox Body Treatments. Patrons can select from numerous varieties of facials and full hair salon services, for both men and women, are available.
