The 2023 issues of Pine Knoll Shores’s The Shoreline are now available on Digital NC, thanks to our partner The History Committee of the Town of Pine Knoll Shores. With the exception of 2003, Digital NC houses a complete collection of Shoreline papers, dating back from 1973. This recent batch of uploads celebrates the 50th anniversary of PKS, with each issue highlighting a different fun fact of the town’s history – making this a rich resource for researchers.
In this beach town’s monthly paper, you can find celebration of both the nature of the town and its residents. Some coverage of local events in 2023 include garden clubs, fashion shows, local do-gooders, and children’s activities, like Wave Chasers. The Shoreline also highlights local culture by showcasing visual artists and poets throughout its pages.
The Shoreline also offers great content for nature lovers of the North Carolina coast.
The best coverage this year is the Sea Turtle Report from the August issue onwards. See how volunteers of PKS work alongside a biologist to protect their sea turtle populations.
