Shhhh.....I sure wish folks would quit recommending the Outer Banks or other NC beaches

. I still remember the OBX (and other NC beaches) from my youth when it was pretty much off the beaten path....no mas (especailly "in season"). Been to Myrtle Bch (and North Myrtle) too many times to count during my high school/college years....avoid those unless you like congestion, crowds, and TRAFFIC
