I have lived in North Carolina all of my life but until 6 years ago had never been to the Outer Banks ( we always went to Myrtle Beach) so I never knew what I was missing. Thankfully I have found a place that is like another world in the OBX. If you want to get away from the shopping crowds and fast-food chains then I highly recommend Avon,Buxton,Frisco, and Hatteras Village. Take the ferry over to Ocracoke and visit the Jollly Roger for great food and a fantastic view of the oldest lighthouse still in operation in N.C. I am a life long fan of the OBX. It is rich in history and a unforgettable place!
Pros: beautiful beaches, uncrowded, lots to see and do
