We are visiting the Outer Banks in early September. We have never been there before. Does anyone have any tips about the different towns? Recommendations for dinner, activities, etc?

I have a friend who's been there several times, but I'm not sure when I'll talk with her next. But I do know she's always had a great time, and it makes her want to move there! Hope you can get some ideas.

We go there every year and rent a house on the beach.

1. The further north you go the nicer it is. Duck is nice and the house we have is nice, but if you go to Corolla, most of the houses are huge and new....more expensive, too, though.

2. There are lots of places to eat, but depending where you stay, you could drive a bit to get there. You should eat at Awful Arthurs at least once. It's odd, but the further north you go the less food there is.

3. September is a great time to go because kids are back in school. You pretty much have your own private beach after the end of August.

4. Get beach front if you can afford it. It's so nice to wake up to the waves splashing on the beach.

5. There are some very nice boutiques and galleries.....great shopping. There's one place in particular I can point you to if I can just remember the name......I spent lotsa dough there.....I'll think of it. Everything's on sale in September, too!

6. There are some great food speciality stores, too. You can get fresh seafood (0f course), but you can also get prime meat and great cheeses, etc.

I love going there, how cruel for you to make me think of it when we're having a blizzard outside.

Jo- we are staying in Rodanthe. I want to be in the middle so it's not too far to travel north or south. We got a 6 BR beachfront house. It is gorgeous
