Picture this: you’re secluded on a beach with nothing but the ocean, the sand, and your camping gear. You spend the day relaxing in the sun, collecting seashells, reading a book while listening to waves, just to end the night by a crackling fire with your toes in the sand…

That, my friend, is beach camping.

Our Outer Banks Photo Journal takes you up the coast of North Carolina where we experience beach camping for the first time.
