That said, my in laws love OBX and we go every year so we can have 15 people in a house with a pool and one block walk to the beach. It’s hard to find that in the Northeast for under $20K/week.

This is why people go to the OBX. Big, multifamily houses. Beyond that, the beaches aren’t that great - narrow, steep, rough gravely sand, super windy. Traffic blows. Not a lot of restaurant options. Duck Donuts are trash. Too many MAGA/confederate flags.

We had friends who waited in line yesterday at a popular bagel place in Corolla and after waiting in line forever they got to the front where there was a huge sign for a "MAGA Bagel" with a video of Trump dancing next to it.

and they were so shocked by this affront of eating a bagel from someone who votes differently than them that they dropped dead and really showed all those maga bagel eating people in corolla!

unfortunately for them they will not be missed, but rip.

I’d be shocked that a business would put foolishness ahead of profit. I’ve never seen a Biden or Trump sign at a business before. If too many beach restaurants or resorts started putting their signs up I’d find another beach.

The only thing I don’t like from the OBX is the tremendous amount of Rnecks. It gets tiring.

They get tired of your snotty-pants too, so you aren't lone.

I really want to do BI, but extended family will complain about how "boring" it is.

THATS EXACTLY WHY I WANT TO GO.

I may just need to do a trip with spouse and our kids.

I hate Trump, but even I had to laugh at this.

Fools and their money are easily parted.

Lido Beach is my favorite. Jones Beach when not crowded. (Not Gilgo Beach!)

Amen. Fire Island is my favorite.

Mansion Beach on The Block and biking all over BI is the only way for me.

We go to OBX with extended family of 12. It is really the only place we can go and have lots of options of houses with plenty of rooms (real beds for everyone), walking distance to the beach for the family members who love the beach, and a private pool for the ones who don't love the beach. I'm sure other beaches are nicer and near cuter towns, but OBX fills a need for our family that other beaches do not.

Summer is a whole month longer in NC

There’s no other better place to buy and fly kites than the OBX.

OBX beaches: very windy, rough surf

OC Md and Delaware beaches--gentle wind or no wind, surf is gentler, not as rough as OBX
