We rented a condo across the street from the beach and lucked into good weather every day but one (there was no hurricane damage from Earl, which had passed through a few days before we arrived). My favorite part of the house was that it was well stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, and even a beach buggy thing to haul everything.
There was a lot of beach time, but we stayed pretty busy. We drove the 70 or so miles down the coast to Hatteras where we went to the graveyard of the Atlantic/pirate museum, twice went to the fairly desolate Coquina Beach with big sand dunes, kayaked around Roanoke Island (no sightings of John Smith or the lost colony) in Manteo, and went north to Duck and Corolla, including driving on the beach.
It was a very relaxing trip, but the week went by fairly quickly. We were hoping to paddle surf one day, but it ended up not working out - I guess that will have to wait for out trip to Mexico with my family in November.
