Ocracoke is probably my favorite spot. Its pretty quiet and layed back with plenty of great resturants and shops you can walk to. If you go to Ocracoke take or rent bicycles, theres alot of history to see there. Theres miles of beautiful, clean beaches to drive on and great surf fishing everywhere. We usually stay on the Silver Lake where most hotels have boat docks that can accomadate larger boats. The people are very friendly and willing to help you in any way.
We spend a week in Kitty Hawk every summer and thats great too! Lots of good eats and plenty of great fishing on the surf and the piers. Stop by Jennettes pier, its 1000ft. long and is really impressive. If you stay anywhere bewteen Kitty Hawk and Ocracoke you'll enjoy the area.
Last summer we stayed at Surf Side, close to Jennettes pier for my birthday where my wife bought me a plank on the pier. Its really nice!
