Even last season , with covid, it was pretty busy .
Hope you had a good time ! We just booked our house for September last week . Really looking forward to it.

I was there in late May early June last year and thought it was pretty tame compared to a "normal" year. I'd say when we were there it was about 1/2 the crowd we're used to. This year is as busy as I've seen it in quite some time probably double the number of people we're used to. I haven't spent this much time in traffic on 12 on years. We normally stay down at the North end of 12 near where 12 becomes 4x4 only. The beach where we stayed near Duck was much cleaner for some reason. We walked the 4x4 beach one evening and we all noticed how much stuff was washed up on the beach vs where we were staying.
We had a great time! My son and I spent Monday through Thursday body boarding. Water was cold but manageable once you got used to it. House was one row back from the ocean with nice views. We normally get an oceanfront place but we booked late this year thinking we were going to go to Destin FL or somewhere else along the gulf coast.
