L and I went to the beach last weekend.
Since there was no plan, we decided to just drive east on Hwy 64 until we hit the Outer Banks, then head south until we found a suitable place to set up camp. Despite that it was Memorial Day we didn’t run into much traffic, making it easier (and less frustrating) to take a look around, enjoy the scenery, and scope out a good place to spend the night. We decided that Pea Island was it.
Ignoring the “Day Use Only” signs, we hid the car behind some construction equipment on a side access road near the dunes. L grabbed the tent and the daypack, while I carried the blankets and air mattress… up and over the dunes into a little hidden pocket that we’d discovered earlier. Nobody could see us, but if we climbed to the top of the dune, we could see everything.
It’s good to get away!
