[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OBX -- horrible! Confederate Flags and rednecks all over the place[/quote]

Is this true?[/quote]

Not really.  I know people on here love to bash the Outer Banks, but we love it.  I can see if you stayed in Kitty Hawk or Nags Head that it may not be your thing.  It's a little commercialized there and some of the beaches aren't the best, but south of Oregon Inlet on Hatteras is pretty nice.  Beaches are nicer, water's warmer, there's lots of water sports on ocean and the sound.  It's pretty quiet, some may call it boring, but it's perfect for us.  Bashing all of the Outer Banks is like bashing all of Cape Cod.  Cape Cod, like the Outer Banks, has some really fantastic spots, but mixed in are some places that aren't that fantastic.  Final thing with OBX, unfortunately all of the horror stories about driving there are mostly true, but that can be said for most of the region from DC to Boston.  We have our route to the beach.  It's longer, but bypasses the madness of I95 and 64.[/quote]

I posted a couple pages ago that the drive is really only terrible if you go on Saturday with the intent of arriving between 10am -6 pm.

I do the drive about 20 times a year and live in Annapolis it is typically about 4:45-5.5 hours, with gas and food stops.

Which are the best times and days of the week to drive there and SC beaches?  We're planning to go for the first time this summer.

Obviously if you are leaving weekday evening in the middle of rush hour it will take longer.[/quote]

Meant to say it is only really bad if you plan to arrive between 10-6 on Saturday.[/quote][/quote]
