We have moved further north to Washington, North Carolina. This is about the half way point to our next stop of Hatteras, North Carolina. The RV park is acceptable for the low off season weekly rate. The park mainly consists of park model (permanent) type RV’s that people use as a vacation home or weekend get away. They do have a strip of sites on the outer edge for transient RV’ers (like us). We are here for a week.
Let me get you caught up on our sightseeing day while we were in Tabor City, North Carolina, our last stop. We started out by visiting two beaches that were about 15 miles away. The first was Sunset Beach. What a beautiful long beach. The sand was just perfect and the beach was so clean. Here is a picture I found of it on the web.
Next we drove up the coast just a few miles to the next beach, Ocean Isle. Again it is a long beautiful beach but this one has shells everywhere. Amazing how two beaches next to each other can be so different. Here is a picture of Ocean Isle beach.
Next up was the small coastal town of Southport. Here we had lunch at the Fishy Fishy Café. You have got to love the name. The restaurant is right on the docks of the marina.
Next we drove to Wilmington, North Carolina. I did not know it was such a large city and right on the coast. The battleship USS North Carolina is berthed here as a tourist attraction (we did not go see it). We took a walk around the historic downtown and then along the riverwalk. Seems like a very nice city.
Here is a picture of the battleship.
It was a nice sightseeing day. A little cold but did get better as the day progressed. Coastal Carolina is very beautiful. I am anxious to see what the Outer Banks look like, especially since last years hurricane.
