   You should make sure you spend a few days on Ocracoke Island, at the southern end of the Outer Banks.

   It’s quiet, peaceful and the 250 year old village is very different, and I think much more enjoyable than the typical beach experience.

   Looks good, but I wish the culinary world would get over arugula. That stuff tastes like a weed. In fact, I think it is a weed.

   And make sure you check out Chip’s Wine and Beer shop for all your adult beverages. Always my first stop.

   The Outer Banks, Cape Hatteras in particular, are among my favorite places on the Earth. I must second the recommendation that you spend a few days in Ocracoke. In fact, I would base myself there. The island is only accessible by ferry boat, and there is a much slower pace of life there. Also, lots of history with Blackbeard the infamous pirate as well as some good WWII history and a British cemetery.

   Among the culinary delights absolutely NOT to be missed, is the Hatteras-style clam chowder. (The Channel Bass, which used to serve it reliably, is closed but there is at least one other restaurant on Hatteras Island serving it. The name escapes me at the moment though…) There’s also an amount of Civil War history and a really nice Ship Wreck Museum. You can also climb the Cape Hatteras Light–during the summer you should GO IN THE MORNING before it gets hot.

   Further to the north there is the Wright Brothers’ Monument.

   In Manteo, on Roanoke Island, there is The Lost Colony play, one of the state Aquariums, the Elizabethan Gardens which are worth a visit.

   Oh yeah … on Ocracoke:

   The Back Porch
   Cafe Atlantic
   and Diajio are great restaurants

   All three definitely View from your table worthy, and you get the real sense you are at the end of the earth too.
