Thanks Barbara, Every thing I have read about the Outer banks the towns in Hatteras Island seem like something I was looking for. I admit that if someone wants familar box stores and such they are better up nags head and north but I really enjoy the mom and pop shops, restaurants offered on hatteras island and the nothing but wilderness drive gave me a good sense of going on a remote island vacation it was kinda cool.
After crossing Oregon Inlet bridge I was so tickle to see the white sand
It was so nice to see a beach with no commercial devlopment
Nothing can be finer than to be in Carolina and have the beach to yourself
I was mezmorized by the miles of sand dunes that line highway 12
I was expecting to see seagulls and of course fish but other wildlife in the area was an added bonus
The ducks above and turtles are hanging out in these canals around Avon.
This guy below was hanging out near the entrance to Cape Hatteras lighthouse
I had to go onto the Avon Pier considering by looking at it condition. I am not sure if it will be able to weather many more hurricanes. It nice that we still have a few wood made piers still left
It good to see 4wd drive SUV'S being used for their intended purpose LOL
I actually wish we had one so we could drive instead of walking to a remote spot on the beach
