    Hard to Believe I was in NC

    We did a Sunday morning and drive down to Frisco and then took the intro Dune Road from ramp 47 to the Point. I was in amazement, not a soul in sight with deer nibbling on their breakfast. Definitely bring your binoculars.

    Great beach!

    You need to buy a pass to drive on the beach and have a 4 wheel drive. So relaxing. Great fishing here also. Had a good time with family on the Frico Beach. Bring a bucket for shelling great shell finds here.

    Shhhh. Don't tell!

    So, you want to vacation at the beach. Did I say beach? You drive down HWY 12 on Hatteras Island south of Buxton (where the light house is) and pass through Frisco, heading towards Hatteras Village. On the left there is a parking lot, Bath"house"...More

    It's on your left just after Frisco Gun & Tackle Shop I believe which is attached to the Frisco Post Office. There may also be a sign for Billy Mitchell Airfield? Hope this helps.
