Just thought I'd put this here for the benefit of other Outer Banks visitors even if it is of no use to mileshound

I was on the Outer Banks just before Xmas for the Wright Brothers centennial, my first time there.

A walk on the beach north of Corolla as the sun goes down is a must. I was there with my then girlfriend who said we must go. It was very romantic, could see about a million stars, the place was empty and silent except for the sound of the sea crashing on the beach. I could understand why she said that is the one place she'd like to get married, it was very picturesque
