| Buxton
is most famous for being the location
of Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. This
is the tallest brick lighthouse in
the United States at 208 feet tall.
Buxton has some of the nation’s
finest ocean surf fishing at a location
affectionately called by the locals
as “The Point”, it prides
itself as being the home of the Cape
Hatteras Anglers Club.
Many of the
restaurants,
shops and markets are seasonal with
many closing during the winter months
and reopening the following Spring.
Many of these same businesses are
family-owned and not chain franchises.

Banks Message Board
Frisco
We are staying in Frisco this year
and I am wondering what the water/waves
are like down there. We usually drive
to the point, but I am hoping to be
able to stay closer to the house this
year. Also what are some things to
do down that way? Good places to eat,
not fried? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks. Read

Great
stay in Avon
Just wanted to say our family vacationed
in Avon last week and had a wonderful
time. I had checked the message board
many times for info before our trip.
I found all info both helpful and
correct. We booked through Hatteras
Realty and had great service. With
kids we didn't venture far from the
pool or beach. Shopped at Food Lion
and smaller grocery retailers and
found prices to be ok. Gas prices
seemed to also be average. All in
all we thought it was a beautiful
place for a family vacation. Thanks
for all the helpful info. We are already
planning a trip next year. Read

Avon

We will be first timers to the OBX

some of the posts on traffic....patience
is at the top of the to-bing list.
My question is: will the teens 13-17
be happy with activities available

on the sound? Thanks! Read

Hatteras
or Duck/Corolla?
Planning a vacation to OBX and am
trying to decide between Hatteras,
Avon area or Duck/Corolla, with oceanfront
rental in either location. From what
I understand Duck/Corolla is newer
and more residential and rentals seem
to be more costly. Hatteras area appears
to be less populated, and rentals
less costly. I'm trying to determine
the benefits or drawbacks to each
area. A couple of specific questions
I have are:
How long is drive to each area once
you get over bridge? Are there enough
'large' grocery stores; video rentals
and restuarants in each area? Is the
beach area different in either area
or access to beach from the homes
(in things read on Hatteras rental
descriptions don't mention 'private
boardwalk to beach')? Any and all
information would be appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
