Anonymous user asked:Anonymous user answered:Wow, sounds like you're on the right track! I've heard good things about Huntington. Of course, the Outer Banks -- and in particular Cape Hatteras and Ocracoke Island -- offers excellent camping. Further south, Little Talbot Island State Park in northeast Florida is worth a look. Lastly, check out Virginia's Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, which offers an awesome hike-in route to False Cape State Park and primitive, beachside camping at Barbour Hill (look out for loggerhead sea turtles, who nest on the beach between May and September!).

Pieter answered:First think about where you want to stay... we stay in Duck, a small town on the Northern half with good waves but not much else. Kitty Hawk and Nag's Head to the south are larger. Corolla is the farthest north and has a grocery store (and BrewThru!) We rent through these guys: (http://www.resortrealty.com/index.htm) but there are plenty of options. Most rentals are pet-friendly but charge a ~$150 pet fee. But the best part? The beaches in Duck are pet friendly and allow the dogs off-leash, all the time!

Anonymous user asked:Anonymous user answered:I lived there for 4 years and favorite time of the year was off season. Typically "the season" would end after Labor Day. Temps are still nice. I personally love the beach in the mid/late fall,winter,and spring (before Memorial Day)quiet and peaceful. Enjoy your trip when you go!

Anonymous user asked:Anonymous user answered:From Nashville, Kay, I think you should head southeast through Chattanooga and Atlanta to the Georgia, Florida, or South Carolina coast towns. Loads of choices there, including laidback Tybee Island (http://blogs.away.com/travel/2009/06/beach-bytes-tybee-island-georgia.html), which offers plenty affordable options. Another cool place might be Holden Beach (http://blogs.away.com/travel/2009/05/beach-bytes-holden-beach-north-carolina.html), perhaps a more affordable, charismatic alternative to Myrtle Beach. Congrats to you both!
