8. Rodanthe Beach

Pristine beaches without masses of vacationers are increasingly difficult to find in an age of growing travel and tourism. Rodanthe, a wonderful day trip just south of Nags Head, is just such a place, where the wide beaches are delightfully desolate. Visitors can pull into parking lots just off Highway 12 and enjoy a day on the beach without the hubbub of the northern Outer Banks beaches. Like to surf? Rodanthe is also one of the Outer Banks' best surf spots because of its unique geographical relationship to the Atlantic Ocean.   (© 10Best)
