I love to visit any beach on the East Coast. I've been very fortunate to spend a lot of time near the ocean when I go home to Virginia. Pictured above is Duck, North Carolina, where a family friend has a house 100 feet from the beach front. We do not typically go during the busiest part of the season, but it is guaranteed that we have at least two weeks there in the summer, a week in the autumn and spring break. My favorite time of year to be at Duck is late September. The ocean is still warm, it's not too hot or busy, and the smell of the water and sand is perfect.
And this time I am getting better at putting 2 and 2 together: from Richmond to Duck is not all that far! :-)

ReplyDeleteI am sorry to tell you that I have come to not like the Ocean very much. I do love the atmosphere and the sound of the ocean, but not much else. I recently went to California and had losing battle with a few huge waves, ever since then I have tried to stay away or when I go, I don't go in too far :) If you do like the ocean, I would recommend putting Uvita, Costa Rica on your list to travel. There is something call the Whale Tail. and during low tide you can see this huge piece of land that looks like a whale tail and during high tide it is completely covered but the waves are crashing with each other instead of on the shore. It is awesome!

I have yet to visit the East coast, but I lived in California for about a year and if Duck Beach is anything like the beaches in Oceanside, California it’s gorgeous. I have plans to see the Atlantic Ocean, just so I can say “Hey I saw both, they look the same, but I saw them!” The beach is an absolutely wonderful place to be on a good day, so relaxing.
