I’ve driven past this bay hundreds of times in my life. I’ve stopped a handful of those. Recently, I made it a priority to stay roadside and explore Emerald Bay so I could understand what makes this place so memorable to others. Well, I must say, I now understand! Emerald Bay, regardless of the time of year, holds an energy that sucks you into its grasp. When you are here, you realize that you can do just about every outdoor activity in one of the most outstanding locations in the world.
