We don’t do anything. Read, hike, go to church, etc. Small town America in the Appalachian hills. No worries, no crime, no hurry.

Try Ocracoke Island in NC. Sometimes you have to do nothing to do something. $60 a night in the motel.

I’ve done Halloween on Ocracoke several times. Gulf Stream’s still warm so the weather is too, more often than not. It’s a functioning fishing village so everything doesn’t close up shop for the winter, but a lot of the “better” establishments serving the summer people are closed. One of the prettiest beaches on the east coast, but protected with national seashore so you won’t get a house or hotel on it. Bike, hike, rent a golf cart or 4x4. Beach driving is permitted other than sea turtle nesting season. Drive down to the point, excellent shelling, feels like the end of the earth. Much of the OBX has that feel. The wind, the pounding surf, the dunes, the sand. Ocracoke only being accessible by ferry adds to the sense of remove. Palmetto trees, spanish moss, live oaks, old old family cemeteries, history. Pirates! Go out to Teach’s Hole under a full moon. Legend has it that slapping the water three times with an oar will have Blackbeard’s headless body swimming around your boat, lol.
