Small-town charm meets coastal flavor at Minnesott Beach, the location of Arlington Place. Located on the beautiful Neuse River, you'll discover nature, fun, and character at Minnesott Beach. From here you can take a convenient ferry to points of interest up and down the Crystal Coast and the Inner Banks—there's just so many cool places to explore.
Minnesott Beach is located at the site of an old Indian settlement, which was thought to be one of the largest Indian trading centers in the South Atlantic states. In fact, the name "Minnesott" originated from an old Indian word meaning "land of the sky-tinted waters." Today Minnesott Beach is a golfing and sailing community featuring an 18-hole golf course, marina, and other amenities.
