If you like high rise condos and congestion, go to Myrtle Beach. I you are looking for a natural beach, with single home rentals, condos, or dulpexes, our favorite is Emerald Isle, NC. There are tons of things to do for the entire family: Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium, dolphin cruises, beach fun (fishing, boogie boarding, body surfing, kites, sand castles, etc.); great seafood restaurants, etc. We have been vacationing there since the 70's. Hawaii is nice but we prefer the natural, quiet environment of Emerald Isle.
