Morehead City, NC
Morehead From Most American's Perspective -
11/8/2011I have lived on both coasts from small towns to the largest cities and travelled abroad a bit too...just so you know where I am coming from. People who love the NC coast most often are from NC and haven't yet been to FLA, CA or even VA. If you have you'll notice immediately that NC coastal areas are overbuilt, VERY commercial in a 1950s type of way, not clean or well-maintained areas. Most of the year round population are blue collar, fast food, Walmart type of folks--which is fine just know it is not anything like South Beach. My main complaint is the lack of diversity (only 1 Mexican restaurant and don't even think of eating Asian food) in food and entertainment (1 two seat theater and no ethnic offerings at all), trash and cigarette butts everywhere, MOSQUITOES,and the limited interest in anything outside of the hometown. The positives--fishing, kayaking, quaint old buildings mostly in Beaufort, wildlife viewing. It does cost quite a bit more for food and housing than in the Triangle or most other areas and the quality as I say is very much lacking.
