[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a life long Marylander I hate the Delaware, MD,and Virginia Beaches. We have a house in Corolla, NC and it’s nice and quiet.   No tacky crap. [/quote]

Um…you know there are private, gated beaches in DE, right?

ICYMI: the appeal of the DE beaches is you can stay wherever you like (private beach, hotel, condo, etc.) and still have access to lots of restaurants, bakeries, and activities.

I’ll never understand the appeal of NC beaches. Aside from the treacherous/deadly riptides, I can’t understand why anyone wants to vacation somewhere you need to cook and prepare all meals because amenities like restaurants are few and far between. Plus, the over abundance of confederate flags on full display at NC (worse than FL) beaches is off-putting (ymmv). [/quote]

NP, Clearly you haven’t been to Corolla or Duck in a long time. There are a ton of restaurants now. When I went there growing up that was definitely true. And now we go out to dinner every night when there. And confederate flags are mostly found down in Kitty Hawk and Nags Head. Never seen one in the northern part of OBX and I go every year. Primarily Northerners rent so the MAGA crowd is not present. I have stayed in one of the DE gated communties and the beach and town are still extremely crowded and not that charming. That said, I still enjoy Bethany every time I go. It’s just not my first choice. [/quote]

I’ve been all over the NC beaches, and I’ve never thought it was markedly better than DE beaches aside from being a bit less crowded—but also with DAR fewer activities/amenities.

FWIW, I enjoy every beach on some level. I enjoy the MD/DE beaches primarily for convenience and nostalgia. But there are so many beach options in the USA. [/quote]

If you want a beach with a boardwalk and Funland you go to Bethany. If you are looking for restaurants shopping, and quiet, you go to OBX. Everyone has the place that checks their boxes. Both are great and people are allowed to have different opinions.

Someone who frequently visits both beaches. [/quote]
