Outer Banks Beach Reports

Listverse.com named Ocracoke Island, North Carolina in their top 10 list for best beaches in the world based on three essential ingredients for a world class sunbathing spot are sun, sand and surroundings.

If privacy and seclusion are what you look for in a sunbathing location, then look no further. This little gem of a spot can only be reached by boat, private plane or ferry. While modern electronics (ie: phones and computers) have reached this island paradise, they are still frowned on. The wilderness beach on Ocracoke has some of the most pristine sand to be found. Relax, get that book out you’ve been wanting to read and enjoy the rays.  Many Outer Banks vacationers enjoy the drive to Ocracoke as a day trip or overnight stay.

During my lunch break, I took a drive to Ocean Sands near Corolla, North Carolina.  It had been raining the night before and was cloudy all morning, but I was able to catch a break from the bad weather and enjoy the sunshine.  Check out this video to see what the beach looks like today.
