Where should we go on a family vaction? (outer banks?)?me and my family have 5 adults and 5 kids (ages 9-15) and are looking to go on vacation in july. we dont want an isolated area, we'd like other people to be around us and we'd like to be able to walk only about 5 maybe 10 minutes to a few restaurants and shops. also a clean beach along with activities... | |
If your family is looking for a quaint town, beautiful wildish beaches and lots of outdoor activities (including the fishing and kayaking), check out Amelia Island.

We went to OBX a couple years ago (2 adults, a 20-something niece, and 3 kids) and had a blast. We stayed north of "the bridge" in Southern Shores. If you want to be within walking distance of stuff, you'd be better off around Kill Devil Hills, although there is some stuff in Corolla/Duck if you want to go that way. We went in early June, which was much cheaper. It gets more expensive as you get into the heart of the summer.
OBX is a lotta fun. Eating, drinking, shopping, kite baording, fishing, biking....
You can get a huge 3-4 story house w/ an elevator, pool, hot tub, gym, pool table, home theater, etc. for really cheap during the off-season (like October).
You can also choose the bay side or the beach side; the sun sets on the bay side.
