Prayers for the poor girl. I LOVE to surf kayak at Ocracoke. What a nice island that is. I've seen sharks there, but they've all been the Sand Tiger variety, and under 3 feet. I still wouldn't want them biting my hands.

I don't know which is stranger, dangerous sharks in the surf at Ocracoke or kids in the surf at Ocracoke. There are zero child attractions on the island-no amusement parks, no minigolf, no boardwalk. No clowns. No funnel cake. No fake stuff at all, actually. There's not even a bridge-you have to ride the ferry if you want to get there. It's just an old fishing village with some really cozy watering holes and great sunset views. Like I said, what a nice island!

when I was that age, many, many years ago, my parents had a beach buggy and we would go down Bogue Banks, past Atlantic Beach, NC out on the beach and away from everyone. I loved it. Sand and surf. Sad that this is the only place left that’s not been commercialized. And with the salt water fishing license I can’t even go down to OBX from VA to fish when I want.
