OBX IS THE BEST BEACH DESTINATION FOR THE FAMILY. Visit Jockey's Ridge, tallest sand dune on the East coast; fly a kite or hang glide. The state aquarium in Manteo is a must. Spend a warm, soft evening at the outdoor drama ""The Lost Colony"" and learn about an early British settlement whose entire population disappeared mysteriously. Visit Wright Brothers Monument, site of the first airplane flight. Don't miss the lighthouses! And my personal fav meal on the OBX would be the buffalo shrimp at Hooters (Milepost 3.5, Kitty Hawk), followed by a milkshake at John's.
Pros: Educational day trips, Great beaches, Friendly people
Cons: , My sunburn!
