It's where I go when I can. Nag's Head is current favorite. Very much family oriented. Rented a beachfront house with 5 or six bedrooms for $1100 a couple of years back, took three families of friends with us and had the time of our lives.

Went there every year growing up. Don't miss the Elizabethan Gardens. A lot of people don't go there but it's a beautiful walk. It's the same turnoff as the Lost Colony. Back in 1987, they used to have actors that had set up camp in the same fashion the original 15 did. Completely in character, they wouldn't acknowledge any invention after the 1580s. Don't think they're there anymore but last I heard there are still actors on Elizabeth II, a sailable replica of the original ship. Also not completely historically accurate don't miss The Lost Colony the play

NC history ping!!

Look a couple of miles east, in Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills or Kitty Hawk. Even further north, in Duck or Corrola. I've spent many a happy vacation hours in the Outer Banks over the past 40 years, but I prefer to be close enough to the ocean to hear the surf. The only place that I've found better on the East Coast (speaking liberally) is the Keys, in Florida.
