Waves, North Carolina

Waves, North Carolina is located in the Outer Banks. This area of the Outer Banks is extremely peaceful and relaxing. If one is looking for a quiet, calm vacation without too much action and people, Waves, NC is the place to go!

We rented a beautiful house a street away from the sand dunes which led to the beach. There is a surplus of houses to rent in all of the many towns of the Outer Banks. They are extremely clean and well-kept. I highly recommend renting a house rather than staying in a hotel in the Outer Banks. One neat thing about many of the houses in the Outer Banks is that they all have unique names. It is neat to drive around a look at the different, creative names people have come up with.

As for the beaches of Waves, NC, they were beautiful! They were extremely long and spacious. Beacause Waves, and most of the other beach towns of the Outer Banks, are so quiet, there were barely any people on the beach the entire day! There was a lot of room to play games and swim without feeling crowded. One down side to the Waves beaches were that there were no lifeguards. Everyone swam at their own risks.

Activities one can do in Waves, NC and the surrounding towns are not what one would normally do at any other beach. My family and I brought our kayak to the Outer Band took it out in the ocean. It was an extremely thrilling experience. We saw all kinds of fish as well as a few sharks! The sharks were a little bit scary but they were more than 100 ft away from the breaking waves. Also, we saw people kite surfing, surfing, bird watching, fishing and site seeing! It is such a relaxing place to take a vacation!

Restaurants in Waves and surrounding towns are scarce unless you travel to a larger town in the Outer Banks. One restaurant we ate at in Waves was called Top Dog. This restaurant had reasonable prices as well as extremely good food! I highly recommend this restaurant. We mainly cooked our own meals or went to a local restaurant for dinner. It was nice to cook our own meals. We cooked on the stove as well as on the grill. We ate under the stars a few times as well as on the beach.

Overall, Waves, NC in the Outer Banks was such a peaceful and relaxing vacation. If one is stressed with work or life in general, this is the place to bring your family, friends or to go by yourself!
