''I absolutely loved riding on the beach. It was a wonderful, long ride and it was a dream come true for me to canter along the beach....''

''How could you pass up the opportunity to climb the highest sand dune in the Outer Banks? If you have kids, make sure they empty their pockets of any valuables before they hit the dunes (and you too, if you're planning to roll in the sand!). They will love the fun of climbing up and then tumbling down the dunes, but be prepared…they will be absolutely full of sand when they're done. Bring some water to help with the inevitable mouthful of sand. Bring a kite if you have one and join the folk...''

''For a newer sport, kiteboarding has blown up! You're not cool until you 'get real'!...''

''Last year me and my boyfriend were taking a long vacation and we drove the whole outer banks. We drove by the sign and it has always been a dream of mine to ride horses on the beach, and he told me we weren't leaving till i did. It took us around a day to track him down, but when we did it was finally worth it. It was a dream come true....''
