[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree, sooo crowded and too expensive for what you get.

We rented a house for ~12k. For that amount of money, you can get a house on the sand in the OBX. And the OBX beaches are waaaay less crowded (well Duck and Corolla anyway).

We also found the water too cold to swim for long in July.[/quote]

^ Me again. I should have specified this is Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, I've never stayed on the mainland Cape. But I hear Chatham and Edgartown are similar to MV and Nantucket.[/quote]

I think Edgartown is on MV?  The outer beaches on Cape Cod are nice.  Chatham, while having a preppy vibe, is beautiful.  I've only been there once, on a day trip, and the water was a beautiful turquoise blue and we had a great walk on a sandbar at low tide.

For the OBX, we prefer Hatteras Island.  Corolla and Duck are nice too, but the water on Hatteras, though it's only 90 minutes south, is usually much warmer.  Hatteras is much closer to the Gulf Stream, and Frisco's beach is south facing, so it usually gets warm water.  As with most beaches, a lot has to do with the wind.  Wind from the east and south, you get nice, warm, blue water.  Wind from the west is usually cold and stained.[/quote]
