Etiquette
Just spent 2 weeks in Corolla, and was so
disappointed by the amount of trash left
on the beach at Whalehead, and the number
of people blocking the road on the northern
beaches (4-wheel drive area) with vehicles,
chairs, umbrellas, or ball games! Have never
seen it that bad in our 15 years of visiting.
I'm sure many were first timers and didn't
know better. Just a reminder to learn the
rules of the road - pick up a brochure.
Thanks! Read

Subject: Surf
and riptides?
We are considering a month in the OB this
summer. But, hear that the surf/rip tides
can be quite dangerous for little kids on
the OB beaches. Is this the case? Read

Any suggestions on which area as the best
beaches for kids. We were in the area 10
years ago when the rip tides were very strong.

I’m planning a 1st time family vacation
to the Frisco area. We are planning on staying
at a cottage on the sound front. Does anyone
know if there are any nice public ocean
side beaches easily accessible (parking,
good beaches)? Are the sound side beaches
better for small children (smaller waves)?
Thanks for your help… Read

Beach driving & sitting
Just where is one to sit in the 4x4 area?
I'm confused! We, like most people, like
to sit at waters edge, but 'they' say you
are to drive at waters edge. I also see
people driving back farther,closer to the
dunes-in other truck tracks. So where is
the 'right' place to sit? I worry sometimes
we will blend in with the beach because
of the sun glare and get run over! Dont
get me wrong, i wont vacation anywhere else
but the 4x4 area-so dont suggest i go to
another area! LOL---just tell me where to
sit :) Read

Subject: Sound
vs. Ocean?
Hey all, does anyone know what the difference
between sound side vs. ocean side is? Can
one actually swim in the sound side, and
would it be better for those with children
since there are less waves, or is it mainly
boat docks? Read

Subject: Soundside
vs Oceanside
Hi all! Our family is looking into houses
in the OB for next summer. Mainly Northern
areas, such as Corolla, Duck, Nags Head
and perhaps Southern Shores. We have children
ages 2 1/2-5 and would like opinions on
the beaches in those areas. If you stay
soundside, are there 'beach' areas just
like what you would get on the oceanside,
but calmer waters? And if you stay 'between
the highways' does it generally mean you
have to get in the car to go to the beach
or is walking still an option? Any information
and tips would be much appreciated! Read
