For those who haven’t experienced North Carolina beaches, these photos were taken yesterday afternoon in front of the Proud Pelican. Notice the wide-open shoreline—no wall-to-wall beach blankets, no vendors, no blaring music, no litter, and no large flocks of seagulls often seen on many northern beaches. Once you experience the beaches of North Carolina, you’ll understand why so many visitors keep coming back year after year.
