I bring my family here every year because it is a very family oriented beach. It is not overcrowded or touristy. Everyone is so friendly. My kids love the beach and the water being more clear than most beaches near Maryland.

We enjoyed climbing to the top of the lighthouse as well as our tour of Whalehead. Visit Outer Banks Brewing for some good beer. Stop in at Bacchus for beer and/or wine flights.
