Wow, "dummy" seems pretty harsh, especially considering "better" is in the eye of the beholder.
I like having the boardwalk and the rides in the background when I'm on the beach.
FF has a problem with people disagreeing with him over subjective topics, which is...if I may quote him - ASININE.
It's funny how there are quite a few people who relocate from NJ to NC. I really don't find too many similarities between the two other then both are coastal states.
I was in Raleigh, NC for a wedding this past summer. The houses in the Raleigh suburbs were quite beautiful, but I found a lot of the locals to be stuck up and unwelcoming. Not that people in NJ are much more welcoming (generally they aren't) however I was expecting some form of southern hospitality. I couldn't imagine Charlotte being that much better.
Compare this to Colorado where I was last week in Denver and Vail -- the locals actually enjoy getting involved in conversation. A lot of them have the same opinion I do of NYC: nice to visit but would die living and working there.
Oh and no comparison of beach life either. You'd be a dummy to think that NJ beaches are better than North Carolina.
What's FUNNY is that you are apparently still here in NJ....
I think North Carolina beaches are physically nicer than those in NJ. The water is a nice blue/green as opposed to murky brown. However, the culture is completely different. There are no real boardwalks along the beaches in NC. it is much more laid back there. For some this may be desirable, for others, not.
Just want to point out, the ocean water is a different color in North Carolina (compared to NJ) because of the mineral content and various organisms that live there. Has nothing to do with "dirty" vs "clean".

I think it's a known fact that the beaches are cleaner in most parts of North Carolina than NJ.
OBX is overrated, I'll give it to you guys. Ever been to Carolina Beach? It's pretty spectacular.

wait till our friend gets a taste of the water out there - it was 63 in July when I was there last year.
