A rainy day or evening doesn’t have to put a damper on the vacation fun, thanks to Emerald Isle’s own movie theater, Emerald Plantation Cinemas. Recently renovated with new seats, restrooms, and additional facilities, and featuring a selection of first-run movies, this local movie theater is a convenient and perfect spot to catch the latest family-friendly flick or summer blockbuster.
The theater is easy to find, and is located adjacent to the Emerald Plantation Shopping Center in the heart of town. As a result, it’s just minutes away for vacationers staying in the Emerald Isle community, and is easy to reach for visitors in the neighboring towns of Indian Beach, Pine Knoll Shores, and Salter Path. The theater has concession stands, which are stocked with popcorn, sodas, and sugary snacks, and a number of combo deals are often available at the snack stand, ensuring that large movie-going groups have plenty to munch on. Online ticket purchasing is also available to make a movie trip even easier, and the theater is open year-round to ensure visitors of all seasons can enjoy a flick. A perfect destination on a rainy afternoon or casual date night, the Emerald Plantation Cinemas is a landmark for Crystal Coast movie buffs.
