[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very disingenuous debate if you don't address the #1 thing against OBX:  the traffic getting there.  Unless you own your own house and therefore can go down anytime, driving down there for a rental is among the most horrific experiences I've ever had.  1000s of people driving over this two lane bridge so they can get to intersection where half the people (at least) have to turn left.  then slogging up Rt. 12 at 2 mph for another hour just to go 10 miles.... come on.  then you spend back half of the week worried about doing the same thing in reverse.  no thanks - almost any beach (even going over Bay Bridge or getting to Cape Cod out of Boston - both of which I've done dozens of times) is no where close as awful...[/quote]

Traffic to/from OBX isn’t fun.  We don’t go there as much as we used to, but when we did we would leave Friday, and stay the night in Suffolk/Chesapeake.  This would put us ahead of the traffic on Saturday.  We usually stayed in Hatteras.  Did Corolla once and the crawl north on 12 was brutal.

Been to Cape Cod multiple times.  Love the Cape beaches, but that drive isn’t a walk in the park either.

As much as we love OBX and Cape Cod, lately our beach trips have been to Fenwick and OCMD.  Easier drive, beaches are nice enough and it just seems like less work. [/quote]
