This is a live star show. The presenter will display the night sky on the planetarium’s dome ceiling and take you on a tour, pointing out the stars, planets, and constellations that are visible in our area. Later, as you are walking along the beach on a clear night, you will be able to recognize by name the celestial sights you see.

The Beach Ball is a fun way to celebrate the place we love to live: the coast of North Carolina. Dress in your chicest beach formal coastal cocktail attire, enjoy drinks and dinner with friends, and learn a little about our coastal environment. Your support of the Ocean Isle Museum Foundation’s 2024 Beach Ball will help the Museum of Coastal Carolina and Ingram Planetarium inspire curiosity and educate generation of visitors for years to come.
