(20,176 posts)I don't recall much about it. I on;y know I went because I remember the vacation I would have been dragged there...I hate beaches. I'm a hard-bottom packed-dirt-shore surrounded by shady-trees man-made lake kind of guy.
I hate the beach and almost certainly spent the entire time with my nose in a book, annoyed by sand between my toes.

(31,392 posts)I live in Chapel Hill--about 3 1/2 hour drive to Emerald Isle--and try
to get to the beach every year, maybe twice if I'm lucky. What
they call the Crystal Coast--southern Outer Banks--is my favorite
part of the beach in NC.
What time of year are you going? What do you like to do?
Kayaking in the sound is a lot of fun. People windsurf on the Atlantic.
Fishing. Sailing. Jet skis. Golf. Biking. Surfing.
Or just hang out on the beach. If you have a rainy day or just
want to do something inside, visit the little Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.
Very family friendly. Mostly single family homes, duplexes, condos.
Nice wide beach. Walk as far as you want on the beach.
Where are you staying?
