N.C. beaches = brown sand, water that definitely isn't clear. Have lived there and put up with it. Finally found my beach:

OBX beaches have been so highly ranked for so long that they appear to have changed the criteria. Doesn’t change my mind though, give me a beach on Hatteras Island or Ocracoke Island anytime. The water’s cool enough to be refreshing, neither cold nor bathwater, still have a subtropical climate, beautiful wide stretches of white sand and big dunes, not crowded at all, the roar of some of the biggest surf on the east coast and a nice steady wind. If you love a sort of primal quality that’s the place. If you want a nice calm puddle with baby waves and bathwater, you can go soundside on the same island, or go to Gulf beaches down in FL, AL, TX, etc. West coast is another story, love it but that’s no place to swim. Icewater even in southern California. Very beautiful, though.

Beautiful beaches hatteras, old spanish ships timber in the sand, however, the sand is course, many riptides too, siesta key, sanibel island for exotic shells, ft pierce, destin...sugar sand..long stretches of public beach..wish florida had adopted hawaiis rules, no private ownership of beaches, all business have to provide parking and access for public to their property’s beaches..
No Michigan beach? Fake news.
Yes, my wife agrees. She is a tar heel.
We have spent a week on Wrightsville Beach for a number of years.
