  • Next up in our summer beach tour is the Outer Banks of North Carolina! These beaches are so popular that they made a tv show here… which I will be honest, we have never watched. So we wanted to see if they are worth the hype.
    We stayed at the Cape Hatteras KOA Resort Campground and absolutely loved it there!! We had full beach access with two points over the sand dunes as well as a huge pool! This is the most laid back beach town we have ever been to. You can walk or drive around the town and every restaurant is super chill.
    The island is so narrow that you can stand in the middle and see the Atlantic on both sides! We have never experienced that before. Also, this is the Cape Hatteras National Seashore so we made sure to stop at the Visitors Center before we left.
    What a great beach stop!!

    When our kids were young, we discovered Holden Beach, NC. (I simply googled top ten beaches in the USA, and it was there!). Coming from Central Ontario, any place where you don't have to wear a parka in March is warm! We would leave late Friday of Spring Break, stop in Virginia for a night, then arrive at Holden for the 1pm check-in. It's low season for them, so we could afford an oceanfront cottage, and I would spend every morning with my coffee in hand, watching the dolphins and the pelicans pass by. Then we'd head the 45 minutes south to Myrtle Beach for some mini-putt or a visit to the aquarium. Holden Beach is also close to Wilmington, which is amazing!
    We also spent a week one summer in Virginia Beach - our camper literally was backed on to the beach - the sites were skinny, but worth it! We went to Chincoteague for my horse-crazy daughters, and after much searching, saw some in the wild. Memories to last a lifetime!

    I live in VA and spend several weeks a year on OBX. Thanks for showcasing Hatteras! OBX is amazing, with 200 miles of shoreline to explore. Here are some geographical facts: Unless you are arriving by ferry from SW of Hatteras, or by boat, you are not on an island until you cross the Basnight Bridge over Oregon Inlet heading SE. Beaches north of there are on a peninsula connected by land to VA. FYI the Pamlico Sound is the name of the body of water on the opposite side of Hatteras Island from the ocean.

    OBX are beautiful. My wife and I tend to go in the shoulder seasons to avoid the crowds and put tons of miles on driving up and down the coast. Love heading down to Hatteras and the lighthouse. Great shelling just past the point.
    Another thing that is great about OBX are the happy hours. Not just drinks but food specials too.

    Welcome to North Carolina. Oak Island is a very popular place to go in NC now. I live 20 minutes from Charlotte, NC and I am 2 hours to the mountains and 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours from the beach so I am really blessed to have the best of both worlds. I have missed yall, glad to have found you in NC this morning. I have never been to the Outer Banks, and that is really sad because I love the unspoiled beaches. When I was younger you could not keep me away from Myrtle Beach but it has changed and so have I. I prefer a beach that is hotel to hotel, no place to lay on the beach. I had no idea of a dog washing place on the beach, I prefer a beach without dogs taking over, that is just my own personal preference.

    I grew up on the Outer Banks. Kitty Hawk/Nags Head area. It's my home even though I have lived in WV for the last 22 years. I get back there when I can, which is hardly ever. I miss it a lot.
    If you wanted to see wild horses, all you needed to do was go up to the north end of the OBX by Corolla.
    Also: it's the Albermarle Sound, not bay.

But my favorite ever beach and favorite place on the planet is Fort Myers beach. The banks, as the locals call Hatteras island, are ever changing and the home of spectacular ocean storms. Also it's a sound.

    From the beaches you’ve shown, I would pick Anna Maria for the water. The sand at the AL/ FL Gulf is a beautiful white - but I like the dunes there in NC. I avoid the Atlantic (maybe it’s the waves and riptides) but love walking in the beach at sunset. The Eastern- facing beach on Hilton Head was perfect for that (just like your choice of ocean over bay) thanks to a very deep, flat beach with compact sand. Favorite all-around beach? Trunk Bay, St John USVI. But Ellie 2 can’t get there. They do have cabins and tents, though, at Cinnamon Bay. Virgin Islands National Park. Another postcard and passport stamp.
